    What's in This Recipe?

    Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    Brown Sugar. I like to use brown sugar because it adds flavor and beautiful color. It also helps in forming the structure of each bar of these flapjacks.

    Demerara Sugar. Demerara sugar is not just used in this recipe to sweeten it but to also add crunch to the tops of the flapjacks.

    Butter. It adds to the structure of the bars, and it also provides richness and tenderness to each bite one would make on this dish.

    Maple Syrup. The base ingredient and flavor of this dish is maple syrup; with the addition of this ingredient to the mixture, the dish will come out tasting caramelly with a hint of vanilla, just like how maple syrup mostly tastes like.

    Rolled Oats. Rolled oats give a delicious and mildly nutty flavor to your flapjacks. They also add texture and support to this baked dish.

    How to Make Maple Syrup Flapjacks?

    steps of making the recipe by photos.

    Top Tips!

    • Follow the recipe. This dish is easy to make and fool-proof; you just have to follow all the things written in the recipe to avoid making any mistakes.
    • Do not take any shortcuts by increasing the heat of the oven to bake quicker because your flapjacks will only come out burnt and uncooked within.

    Some Variations

    • Melt some dark chocolates and drizzle them on top of your baked flapjacks. It does not only make these flapjacks look appetizing but also gives more flavor to the dish.
    • If you want more crunchy and nutty flapjacks, you can easily mix crushed pecans with your ingredients.

    Serving Suggestions

    A hearty and creamy glass of milk for children in the morning can be a good combo with this recipe, and black coffee for adults will never go out of style as well.

    Chocolate Bubble Tea can be paired with these flapjacks for an afternoon snack.

    Personally. I like to serve these flapjacks as a standalone or with a cup of Caramel Latte for breakfast.

    Storage

    To store: Refrigerate these flapjacks for up to three days, but make sure that they are packed in an airtight container.

    Freeze: This is a freezer-friendly recipe that can last up to three months in the freezer so long as they maintain being kept in an airtight container.

    Recipe FAQs

    What are the best oats to use in making flapjacks?

    Aside from rolled oats, you may also use porridge oats for this recipe. They have smaller grains, which will ensure that everything will stick together successfully. However, I don't recommend using large-sized oats; they will only make the flapjacks crumbly in texture instead of crunchy.

    Can I disregard using light brown sugar and just double the amount of maple syrup instead?

    No. Doubling the amount of maple syrup instead of using light brown sugar will result in a very soggy flapjack.
