Flapjack oat bar served

Flapjack

Flapjack is a traditional British oat bar sweetened with honey or golden syrup, making it a perfect energy source for a quick breakfast or afternoon snack. This simple yet nutritious treat has been popular in the United Kingdom for centuries, especially among those seeking natural energy before long hikes or workdays. The original recipe often contains only four ingredients – oats, butter, sugar, and syrup – but modern versions can also be enriched with dried fruits, nuts, and chocolate. With its crunchy edges and chewy interior, Flapjack offers a pleasant texture in every bite.
