Irish Oat Flapjacks

Rolling oats are used in Irish Oat Flapjacks. Just plain rolled oats. When baked, they become much crunchier and maintain their texture. The recipe is very simple and straightforward. The first step is to combine the golden syrup, butter, and sugar. When finished, stir in the oats. Place this on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, till golden brown.
