Ingredients

200g salted butter, cubed
200g soft brown sugar
150g golden syrup
500g rolled oats
500g thick strawberry jam, plus extra to serve
100g desiccated coconut, plus extra to serve

200g salted butter, cubed
200g soft brown sugar
150g golden syrup
500g rolled oats
500g thick strawberry jam, plus extra to serve
100g desiccated coconut, plus extra to serve

Method

Heat the oven to 160°C/140°C fan/ gas 3 and line a 20cm x 30cm baking tray (see tip). Melt the butter, sugar and syrup gently in a saucepan until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the oats until combined. Put half the mix in the tin and spread out evenly to cover the base. Top with half the strawberry jam, then evenly scatter over half the coconut. Top with the remaining oat mixture, then repeat with the remaining jam and coconut. Bake for 40 minutes.
Leave to cool in the tin, then turn out and cut into squares with a sharp knife. Stack into pretty boxes, if you like.

You’ll definitely need to line the tray. Trust us on this.
Make the flapjacks up to a week in advance and keep in an airtight container.

Just made this but then priced it up using Waitrose Essential products where I could – £9.58! Truly decadent!
