A ridiculously easy vegan recipe for one of the most comforting bakes - these golden syrup flapjacks have just 4 ingredients and are naturally gluten-free too.
Flapjacks always take me back to my childhood and bake sales, where these were always on offer.
Now I know why. Because they're so quick, easy and cheap to make yet taste wonderful.
If you're into low effort or lazy baking, then these are for you.
Another great thing about these flapjacks is how easy they are to customise to your tastes.
Add raisins, chocolate chips, desiccated coconut, seeds, nuts or whatever else you fancy.
If you can't get hold of golden syrup, you can also use light corn syrup, maple syrup, agave nectar or brown rice syrup instead.
