COCONUT & RASPBERRY FLAPJACKS
The perfect afternoon treat to accompany a hot cup of tea. Blueberries and blackberries also work perfectly in this recipe, if you fancy something a bit different.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 9 squares
Ingredients
- 125 g golden syrup
- 100 g vegan or regular butter
- pinch of sea salt
- 200 g rolled oats
- 50 g ground almonds
- 75 g desiccated coconut
- 200 g fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 tsp caster sugar
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180ºc fan/390ºf/gas 6 and line a 9×9 brownie dish with parchment paper.
-
Combine the golden syrup, butter and salt in a large pan. Stir continuously over a low heat, until melted and combined. Remove the pan from the heat and add the oats, ground almonds and desiccated coconut. Mix thoroughly to combine.
-
Pour two-thirds of the oat mixture into the lined baking dish and use your hands to compact it into one even layer. Bake for 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, combine the raspberries and caster sugar in another saucepan. Stir over a medium heat, until they begin to breakdown. Mash them into a puree, then bring to a gentle simmer for a minute or so, just to reduce slightly.
-
Pour the raspberry puree over the top of the part-baked oats and evenly spread it out. Gently sprinkle the remaining third of the oat mixture on top of the puree, then bake for a further 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
-
Allow the flapjacks to cool completely before removing from the baking dish and cutting into 9 squares.

Hi Georgie
Do you know what the calories and nutritional information is for your recipe
Hey, so sorry I don’t normally work these out. You would be able to easily do it if you were to enter them into an app such as my fitness pal etc. Hope this helps! x
Hello! Do you think these can be frozen? Save us eating them all in one go…hah!
Hello! Yes they can, I have frozen mine in the past and they are fine. Enjoy! x
I made these yesterday and they are delicious! So crumbly though – hence 4 instead of 5 stars. Next time I will add in egg white to see if it helps to bind the crumble mix. I did add more raspberries (total 350 grm and a little demerera sugar) as 200grm absorbed into the base quickly. (I’d also added chia seeds to thicken the raspberry/honey mix). Thanks for a super recipe!
So glad you loved them!
Very tasty but very crumbly need to eat it with a spoon
how do you make it to stop it crumbling
Hi there Rosemary, make sure that you really pack the base into the tin with your hands or the bottom of a glass so it’s nice and firm. That should help! Let me know if you make it again!
Loved these… will definitely make again. Mine too were a bit crumbly on top, I’ll try pushing the topping down too, as the base was good. I added some poppy seeds to the raspberry layer. I used homemade raspberry jam, came out lovely. Thanks very yummy 😋
Wow homemade jam! Glad you enjoyed the recipe!
