Mary Berry Ginger Flapjacks are a traditional British oat bar made with butter, golden syrup, sugar, oats, and ground ginger. Some versions also include stem ginger for a stronger flavour. They’re baked until lightly golden, then cut into bars once cooled, resulting in the perfect chewy texture. This recipe is known for being foolproof, quick, and wonderfully adaptable.

Ingredients

  • 250g rolled oats

  • 150g butter

  • 100g light brown sugar

  • 100g golden syrup

  • 1–2 teaspoons ground ginger (adjust to taste)

  • Optional: 2 pieces of stem ginger, finely chopped

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Prepare your tray – Line a 20cm square tin with parchment, ensuring it overhangs for easy removal.

  • Melt the base mixture – In a saucepan, gently heat 150g butter, 100g golden syrup, and 100g brown sugar until smooth and combined.

  • Add the ginger – Stir in 1–2 tsp ground ginger and optional chopped stem ginger.

  • Combine with oats – Pour the warm mixture over 250g rolled oats and mix until evenly coated.

  • Press into the tin – Spread the mixture into the baking tin and press firmly to create an even layer.

  • Bake until golden – Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20–25 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.

  • Score and cool – Mark slices while warm but allow to cool fully before cutting to ensure clean edges.

  • Serve or store – Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for later.
