Salted Caramel Flapjacks (Vegan)

Nothing beats a good flapjack. Chewy, golden oaty goodness that you can whip up in a syrupy frenzy at a moment’s notice. I love getting creative with flapjacks, adding in as much dried fruit, nuts and hunks of chocolate as physically possible because you literally cannot go wrong – it’s basically just oats and syrup after all. But the upgrade to end all flapjack upgrades has been using flavoured oats – for these ones I used Oat Pantry’s Maple & Pecan flavoured oat mix to get a super deep malty flavour.
If you don’t have a porridge mix, normal oats will work just fine – I like to use whole/jumbo oats instead of rolled ones to give the flapjacks a more chunky texture. You can also add in any additional ingredients you fancy – pecans, raisins, chocolate chips or desiccated coconut – have some fun!
