These are fail-safe flapjacks, so quick to make and even quicker to devour. The original recipe comes (I think) from Mary Berry. She used golden syrup, which I cannot get here, so I substitute it with date syrup. The recipe also calls for margarine. I wanted to swap this with oil, but so far have failed to get it right. It tastes good but crumbles more.
Ingredients
> 100 gm margarine or 6 Tblsp vegetable oil
> 100 gm brown sugar (I use demerara)
> 1 Tbsp date syrup (or other sweet syrup)
> 150 gm porridge oats

Steps
1. Pre-heat the oven to 160°C.
2. Grease a smallish square or oblong tin.
3. Melt the margarine in a pan together with the sugar and syrup.
4. Stir in the oats and mix well.
5. Turn the mixture into the greased tin and press flat.
6. Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven and mark into squares, but leave in the tin until cold.
8. When cold, remove from the tin and store in an airtight container.
