I have learned something new today – in America Flapjacks are called Oat Bars. Who knew? To make matters more confusing, an American Flapjack is a pancake.

This isn’t a pancake recipe. It is delicious. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 3.5 oz margarine
• 1.5 oz coconut oil
• 8 oz soft dark brown sugar
• 2 dessert spoons golden syrup
• 1 oz desiccated coconut
• 11 oz oats
• Handful chopped crystallised ginger

Method

Preheat the oven to 150^oC / 300^oF.

Put the margarine, coconut oil, syrup, and sugar in a saucepan over a low heat; when melted and well combined stir in the dry ingredients.

Put the mixture into a lined square tin, flatten the top but don’t compress too much.

Bake in the centre of the oven for 40 – 45 minutes.

Simples.
