This is the second time I’ve made this Flapjacks Recipe over the last couple of weeks. The first time they’d all disappeared before I had a chance to take a photo of them so they must have been good. I still haven’t taken the photos as I write this but I’ve hidden this batch from the cake thieves so I’m able to take photos this evening. Flapjacks are one of my favourite “sweet treats”. We have Millionaire Flapjacks in our Charity Sweet Box at work – a recipe that I’m going to try to recreate at some point as they are divine. I’ve used Pumpkin Seeds for this Flapjacks Recipe but you can fill with anything. Currants, mixed seeds, cherries, chocolate or leave them plain.
Ingredients:
Makes 8 (large) Flapjacks
120g butter
100g golden syrup
100g demerara/golden caster sugar
50g pumpkin seeds
250g porridge oats
1/2 tsp cinamon
Method:
Preparation: 10 minutes | Baking: 25 minutes
1. Preheat oven to 190c (170c fan). Grease and line a baking tin.
2. Place the golden syrup, butter and sugar in a large pan over a low heat, stirring continuously until dissolved. Remove from the heat.
3. Add the remaining ingredients to the pan and stir until well combined.
4. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking tin, pressing down firmly with the back of a wooden spoon. Bake for 25 minutes until starting to brown. Leave to cool then cut into rectangles/squares depending on the size you require.
Enjoy…
I’d love to see your photos if you have a go at making this Flapjacks Recipe. Have you seen last week’s Peanut Butter Cookies?
Until next time,
These look and sound so good! I would love to try these, however I’m sugar free… I wonder how sugar replacements would work in this recipe..? I just might have to try that out!
Author
I think you may struggle with these as they have both brown sugar and golden syrup, I’d be interested to hear if you find anything that works though. My Oat Bars a sugar free and I love those just as much.

I am not sure what golden syrup is. Can I used honey instead? I’d love to make these!
Author
I’m sure honey would work the same. It’s for giving the flapjacks the sweet flavour and binding everything together.

These sound really tasty and easy to make! I’d love to try this recipe in fall when I’m in the mood for pumpkin everything (even just the seeds)!
Author
I’d love to hear how they go if you make them. I love adding pumpkin seeds to everything at the moment and they give these the perfect crunch.

Darn you Brits! Based on the title I expected to see pancakes, but I forgot us Americans are the only ones that call them flapjacks. Once over my initial shock however, they do look delicious!
Author
Really?? I didn’t realise you called them Flapjacks in America. I’ve never heard that before!
Ami xxx
Wow these sound phenomenally easy to make….pinning for later as I’ll have to give these a try!
Author
They really are. You can make them when you have a quick 30 minutes to spare.
Ami xxx
Oh these look delicious. I can swap some ingredients for vegan ones and I think hubby will have a tasty snack 🙂 thankyou
Author
I’m sure that would work well, the Golden Syrup is Vegan so it would just be the butter to swap out. I’d love to hear how they go.

It sounds good and crunchy to eat. Thank you for such a great post and idea.
Author
No problem at all, I hope you manage to have a go at making them.

You can use all sorts or leave them plain. I’ve made them with Glace Cherries before which was lovely.

This Flapjack recipe looks good and super healthy! I am gonna give this a try!
Author
I wouldn’t say they were very healthy with the Golden Syrup, Sugar and Butter but I suppose the Pumpkin Seeds make up for that hehe!
Ami xxx
These look so easy to make. I am always looking for an easy way since I am not very good in the kitchen 🙂
Author
They’re so simple! I hope you have a go at making these. I’m not very good in the kitchen either but I’m getting better!
Ami xxx
I love pumpkin seeds in salads and to eat right of the packet. I should try this recipe, I am sure I will like it.

I love pumpkin seeds and flapjack but I hadn’t thought of putting them together like this. I’m going to be trying this recipe out I think
Author
I hadn’t either. I was planning on making plain ones but then spotted an open packet on pumpkin seeds in the drawer and wanted to use them up. They work so well!
Ami xxx
This looks nice and easy to do and delicious too
Author
They really are delicious. I’m trying to think what to make next now!
