Ingredients
 
 

  • 200 g condensed milk
  • 300 g unsalted butter

  • 3 tbsp golden syrup
  • 600 g oats
  • 1 lemon

Lemon Drizzle Decorations

  • 50 g icing sugar / confectioners sugar
  • 1 lemon (zest and juice)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 170ºC / 160ºC fan / 320ºF / Gask mark 3.
  • Line 9 x 12 inch tin with greaseproof paper. It's so much easier for getting them out.
  • Add the butter, golden syrup, caster sugar and condensed milk to a saucepan and on a low heat melt together. Keep stirring to make sure it doesn't stick or burn.
  • Keep stirring to make sure it doesn't stick or burn.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the oats and fresh lemon zest.

  • Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until light golden brown.
  • Leave the flapjacks to cool.

Decorating the lemon drizzle flapjacks

  • Zest the lemon and set aside while you make the icing.
  • Sieve the icing sugar into a small bowl.
  • Juice the lemon and gradually add the juice to the icing sugar to make a drizzle (you might need less or more so add it gently to make the right ribbon-like consistency).
  • Drizzle the icing over the flapjacks and sprinkle the lemon zest on top. You can leave the icing to set or slice up and serve straight away.

Notes

  • If you want to add flavours, nuts or dried fruit then mix them in with the oats in the recipe.
  • As they stay soft you can make them ahead of time.
  • They are easy to freeze and defrost when you want a slice or two.
