This recipe from Waitrose cook Alex Szrok started with him trying to make a flapjack that he didn’t feel too guilty about, and it was worthy and dry, but fine. Then he thought: ‘Just make a really good flapjack – embrace it, it’s not a granola bar’. And this is the result. Follow Alex on Instagram and discover more flapjack recipes.

250g pack salted butter
160g Canadian Amber Maple Syrup
100g light brown soft sugar
300g porridge oats
80g plain flour
80g mixed breakfast cereal, broken crackers, pretzels etc

Preheat the oven to 190ºC/170ºC fan/gas 5. Line a 20cm square baking tin with baking parchment, using the butter paper to grease it first. Put the butter, maple syrup and sugar into a saucepan and melt over a medium heat.
Put the oats, flour and most of the breakfast cereal, crackers, pretzels etc into a large mixing bowl. Pour over the melted butter mixture and mix well.
Spoon the flapjack mix into the lined tin and press down all over firmly. Crunch the remaining cereal mix over the top and press down again. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool in the tin for 20 minutes, then slice. These will keep in an airtight container for 3 days.

Cook’s tip

A drizzle of melted chocolate over the top doesn’t go amiss here. Also, a warmed flapjack with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and toasted pecans? Yes, please!
