Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan ovens) or gas mark 4.
- Line the Tin: Take a 20cm square baking tin and line it with baking parchment, making sure to leave some parchment overhanging the edges for easy removal later.
- Melt the Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, add the butter, sugar, golden syrup, and a small pinch of salt. Place the saucepan over low heat and stir gently until everything is melted and well combined.
Step 2: Mix and Bake
- Add Dry Ingredients: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the oats and desiccated coconut until fully incorporated.
- Transfer to Tin: Pour the mixture into the prepared tin. Use a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the surface.
- Bake: Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture is golden and bubbling.
- Cool: Once baked, remove the tin from the oven and let it cool completely in the tin.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate
- Prepare for Melting: Take a heatproof bowl and add the dark chocolate along with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
- Melt the Dark Chocolate: Heat the mixture in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between, or use a double boiler method over simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In another heatproof bowl, combine the white chocolate and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Melt using the same method as for the dark chocolate.
- Combine on Flapjack: Once the flapjack is cool, pour the melted dark chocolate over it, spreading it to the edges with a spatula. Then, drop spoonfuls of melted white chocolate on top and gently swirl them to create a marbled effect.
- Chill: Place the flapjack in the fridge to chill until the chocolate is set, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Step 4: Slice and Store
- Remove from Tin: Once the chocolate has set, carefully lift the flapjack out of the tin using the overhanging parchment.
- Slice: Use a sharp knife to cut the flapjack into 16 equal squares.
- Store: Place the squares in an airtight container to keep them fresh. They will last for up to one week. Enjoy!
