Coconut Flapjacks Ingredients
For the coconut flapjacks

- 2 tbs golden syrup
- 220g rolled oats

- 20g desiccated coconut
For the chocolate topping
- 100g bar of chocolate – I usually use Dairy Milk
- 2 tsp desiccated coconut – for topping
Equipment Needed
- Weighing scales
- Tablespoon
- Large saucepan
- Wooden spoon
- 20cm square baking tin
- Greaseproof paper
- Jug
How To Make Coconut Flapjacks
- Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F / Gas Mark 4
- Grease and line a. 20cm square tin with butter and greaseproof paper – so you can easily lift the flapjacks out later.
- Put a large deep pan over a low heat and add the butter, sugar and syrup – stir until melted – then remove from the heat.
- Tip in the oats and instant porridge and coconut – stir well until everything is coated in the melty buttery syrup.
- Tip the mixture into the cake tin and flatten with the back of a spoon.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Melt the chocolate – break up the pieces of chocolate into a glass jug and stand in boiling water – stirring all the time to melt the chocolate.
- Pour the chocolate over the flapjack and spread with a spoon to coat evenly. Sprinkle over the desiccated coconut.
- Pop in the fridge for around an hour to set the chocolate.
- Once set – remove flapjack from tin and slice into 12 pieces.
Do You Cut Flapjacks Hot Or Cold?
I find them easier to cut with a really sharp knife after the chocolate has set in the fridge.
If you cut them warm they usually crumble and don’t cut into clean slices.
