Any fan of the Great British Baking Show knows that when you order flapjacks in the UK you don’t get a stack of warm pancakes. Instead you get a sweet and buttery oatmeal bar. Flapjacks are kind of like American granola bars… if a granola bar was a dessert. To make British flapjacks rolled oats are coated in a mixture of melted butter brown sugar and golden syrup then baked into crispy chewy bars.
If you’ve never heard of golden syrup or light molasses you’ll be looking for ways to use it after trying these bars. Golden syrup is a byproduct of sugar refining similar to how molasses is made. It’s not as dark and robust; it’s more like the color and consistency of honey. It has a distinctive sweet buttery caramel flavor that’s beloved in the UK.
