How to make jam flap jacks
Makes 9
200g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
200g golden syrup
50g plain flour
300g rolled oats
350g apricot jam
20cm square tin
Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4 and grease and line the tin with greaseproof paper. In a large saucepan, place the butter and golden syrup, then heat until melted, stirring occasionally. Off the heat, mix in the flour and oats until thoroughly combined, then transfer half of the mixture to the tin and flatten out with the back of a spoon. Layer the jam over the oats, covering completely, then top with the remaining oat mixture, flattening it out roughly on top.
Bake for 30-35 mins, then allow to cool in the tin. Once cool, cut into nine pieces and serve or keep in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
