    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. Using large-sized oats will only make the flapjacks crumbly in texture instead of crunchy thus, it is not advisable to use them.

    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.
