Can you believe that while I love to bake, I've never actually baked flapjack, last year I decided to give it a go with this lemon and white chocolate recipe.

Let's get baking!

Ingredients:

100 g soft light brown sugar

200 g unsalted butter

3 tbsp golden syrup

1 large lemon, zested & 2 tbsp juice

Pinch of salt

300 g rolled oats

60 g white chocolate

Zest of 1 addition lemon for decoration (optional)

Start off by pre-heating your oven to 160C/150C Fan, then grease and line a 20cm square baking tin with baking parchment.

Then in a medium saucepan, melt the butter, brown sugar, golden syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt over a medium heat. Stir until smooth.

Put your oats in a large bowl and pour over the melted syrup mixture, and give it all a good mix to ensure all the oats are covered.

Now tip it all into your prepared baking tin and press it down firmly and evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula. Then put it into your pre-heated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, until a deep golden colour on top.

Make sure you allow it to cool completely in the tin before removing it and cutting into slices, I sliced mine once decorated.

For the decoration, break the chocolate into pieces, and place into a bowl over a pan of boiling water and allow to melt. Once melted, using a spoon drizzle over the top of your cooled flapjack.

Cut into slices and enjoy.

This recipe is so easy and simple to follow, I have no idea why I waited so long to bake flapjack, this recipe is really moreish and I'll happily bake them again. I love when flapjack is soft and chewy and that's exactly what I got with this recipe, the lemon give the flapjack a zesty kick and a perfect snack to have in the afternoon with a nice cup of tea or coffee.

Don't be afraid of this recipe or dish as I think it's completely foolproof, even if you think you're bad at baking.
