Method
- Heat the oven to 150°C/130°C fan/gas 2. Put all the ingredients, except the nuts and oats, in a large pan with a pinch of salt and stir until melted. Add the nuts and oats and stir well with a wooden spoon to coat. Spoon the mixture into the lined cake tin, level the top, pressing down slightly, then bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the tin from the oven and transfer to a wire rack. Score with 16 squares, then leave to cool completely in the tin.
- For the topping, put the chocolate and maple syrup in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water); heat until just melted, then stir and drizzle over the flapjacks. Sprinkle with chopped pecans, then cut into squares to serve.
