Method

  1. Step 1

    Start by placing a saucepan on low heat and preheating the oven to 180°C or 356°F.

  2. Step 2

    Add into the saucepan the unsalted butter (175 g), light brown sugar (100 g), and golden syrup (50 g). Heat, stirring occasionally until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.

  3. Step 3

    In a mixing bowl, combine the oats (150 g) and plain flour (70 g). Mix together and make a well in the centre.

  4. Step 4

    Now add the butter (175 g), sugar, and golden syrup (50 g) mix into the oats (150 g) and flour (70 g). Mix together and press into a 7 x 5 x 2-inch baking tray lined with greaseproof paper.

  5. Step 5

    Bake in the oven for 35 - 40 minutes until golden brown (100 g) on top.

  6. Step 6

    Allow to cool before adding the topping.

To make the yoghurt topping

  1. Step 1

    Place a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Don't allow the bowl to touch the water.

  2. Step 2

    Add white chocolate (200 g) into the bowl and melt.

  3. Step 3

    Take the chocolate (200 g) off the heat and stir in the natural yoghurt (100 g).

  4. Step 4

    Mix in half of the chopped cranberries (35 g) and save half to sprinkle on top.

  5. Step 5

    To finish. Pour the white chocolate (200 g) and yoghurt (100 g) mix over the cooled flapjack and spread out.

  6. Step 6

    Sprinkle with remaining chopped cranberries (35 g). Place in the fridge to set before portioning.

Questions people ask

How long does flapjacks with white chocolate and cranberry take?

About 1 hour from start to finish, of which 20 min is prep and 40 min is cooking. That figure is worked out from the method rather than timed with a stopwatch, so give yourself a little more the first time.

How much does this make?

The original recipe did not state a yield, so nothing has been invented for it. The scale control on the recipe card multiplies the quantities instead, which is the honest version of the same thing.

Can I see the ingredients in ounces and pints?

Yes. The metric and imperial switch on the recipe card converts every quantity, rounded to amounts you can actually weigh or measure rather than to four decimal places. Your choice is remembered for every recipe on the site.

Is it vegetarian?

Yes, as written. If you are cooking for a strict vegetarian, the one to check is the cheese: several hard cheeses are made with animal rennet.
