Top tips for making chocolate and pecan flapjacks
If you want chocolate flapjacks rather than chocolate chips melt the chocolate with butter, syrup and sugar and stir through the oats.
These sweet tray bake oat bars are made from rolled oats, butter, golden syrup, and brown sugar. You can mix up the nuts and chocolate to include your favourite fillings like dried fruits and mixed seeds. Wrap in squares of greaseproof paper for a fun way to serve to kids.
