Look at these mouth wateringly beautiful sticky orange flapjacks. A delicious, easy treat to make, check out the recipe for yourself!
Makes 18
Ingredients:
- 2 oranges
- 250g (90z) unsalted butter
- 250g (90z) caster sugar
- 175g (6oz) golden syrup
- 425g (15 oz) large oats
- 45ml (3 tbsp) fine cut orange shred marmalade
- sprinkle of cinnamon
- sprinkle of ginger
- sprinkle of sea salt
- Handful of raisins
Method:
Grease a baking tin measuring 22 x 9 cm across the top and 19 x 27 cm across the base. Using a zester, grate the orange rind and add to a saucepan with the butter, sugar and syrup and stir until the butter has melted. Remove from the heat and add the oat, coating it in the buttery mixture. Add the cinnamon, ginger and salt. Stir. Pour into the tin and spread so it’s even. Add the raisins. Bake at 180 c (350 F) mark 4 for 25-30 minutes until golden around the edges but soft in the centre. Leave to cool.
Heat the marmalade in a saucepan with 1 tbsp of water then brush over the flapjack. Chip into 18 bars and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Recipe adapted with my own twist from Good Housekeeping Cookbook.
This is so funny!!
Where I live, some people call pancakes “flapjacks”, so that’s what I was expecting to see, but it’s a granola bar! Gotta love that cultural difference (:
These seriously look so delicious though – and I’ve been wanting to make some of these for quick breakfasts on the go. Thanks for sharing <3
Oh that is funny! Where do you live? Thanks for the kind words!
Wow, those flapjacks look and sound absolutely gorgeous! Have pinned for future reference 🙂
@Steph thanks lovely, they are delicious!
These look incredible – I have a bit of an obsession with flapjacks, maybe because my mum used to make them for us when we were sick when we were little. I’ll definitely be trying your version out!

I love a good flapjack but haven’t had one in years! It’s not something I think to make in France where oats are barely available. The addition of orange makes these sound even yummier.
