Simple Flapjacks

Ingredients

• 250 g porridge oats
• 150 g butter
• 100 g honey or golden syrup
• 75 g soft brown sugar
• 75 g raisins or sultanas
• 50 g mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C (fan 150°C) and line a 20cm square tin with baking paper.
2. Melt the butter, honey and brown sugar together in a saucepan over a low heat. Stir until smooth, then remove from the heat.
3. Stir in the vanilla, oats, raisins and seeds until everything is coated.
4. Tip into the lined tin and press down firmly with the back of a spoon — the firmer you press, the better they hold together.
5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden on top.
6. Leave to cool in the tin for at least 30 minutes before cutting into 12 squares. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
