You'll Need
Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- Maple Syrup. Use good quality maple syrup for the best flavor!
- Coconut oil: They give the flapjacks a firm and crispy texture.

How to Make Maple Syrup Flapjacks?
One: Preheat the oven to 160C / 320F and line a 20cm square baking pan with parchment paper.
Two: In a saucepan, melt together coconut oil, maple syrup and sugar over medium heat (DON'T let it boil).
Three: Stir in rolled oats and ground nutmeg until all the oats are well coated.
Tip: Make sure to use a saucepan that is large enough for all the ingredients to fit in. It will save you from making a mess in your kitchen.
Four: Transfer the mixture into the baking pan and press it down FIRMLY using something heavy.
Five: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until light golden brown.
Six: Let it cool for 20 minutes before cutting it into bars.
Top Tips!
- Don’t love chewy flapjacks? Substitute the rolled oats with quick oats; they’ll give you a softer texture.
- Flapjacks fall apart if you cut them while they’re still hot, so wait until they’ve cooled for neat, even slices.
