Vegan Flapjacks

Ingredients

For 16 portions

• 🧈 200g plant-based spread
• 🍚 150g brown sugar
• 🍯 110ml golden syrup
• 🌾 350g oats (dry)
• 🧂 1g salt

Method

1. Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Grease a 20 x 30 cm tin and line it with baking paper.
2. Melt the plant-based spread, brown sugar and golden syrup in a large pan over a low heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Use a block spread for baking rather than a soft tub one, so the bars set. Don't let it boil.
3. Take off the heat and stir in the oats and salt until every oat is coated.
4. Tip into the tin and press down firmly and evenly with the back of a spoon.
5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden at the edges but still soft in the middle. They firm up as they cool.
6. Leave in the tin for 10 minutes, then mark into 16 squares with a knife. Leave to cool completely before cutting through and lifting out.
