Place a piece of greased baking paper in the base of a 20 x 10 cm baking tray. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees (140 fan).
Put the butter and honey in a saucepan and place on a low heat. Remove from the heat as soon as the butter has melted.
Add the oats and any optional ingredients. Stir well until thoroughly mixed.
Spoon the mixture into the lined baking tray. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon, ensuring the mixture goes into the corners of the baking tray.
Bake for 20 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and mark into squares or bars. Leave to cool in the tray.
Remove from the tray when cool and cut into pieces. Store in an airtight container
Notes
For a vegan gluten free flapjack, use maple syrup and vegan block or coconut oil.For a crispier flapjack, bake for up to 10 minutes longer. Make sure that the flapjacks don't go too dark as it will spoil the flavour.
