I used pumpkin and sunflower seeds for the mixed seeds and dried cranberries for the dried fruit. You can use your favorites, such as sesame seeds, hemp seeds, chopped nuts, chopped dried apricots, dried cherries, raisins, or chopped dates.
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups (250g) quick-cook rolled oats
1/2 cup (75g) mixed seeds
1/2 cup (75g) dried fruit
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
1/2 cup (107g) brown sugar
1/3 cup (112g) golden syrup
Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Line the bottom and two sides of an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the pan and parchment paper.

Combine the wet ingredients:
In a medium saucepan, heat the butter, brown sugar, and golden syrup over low heat until the butter melts. Stir the syrup mixture with a whisk or a silicone spatula until the brown sugar dissolves and the mixture comes together, about 30 seconds.

Pour the butter mixture over the oats. Use a silicone spatula to stir everything together, mixing well to coat all the dry ingredients in the syrup.
Spread the oat mixture in an even layer in the prepared pan. Compact the oats bars by pressing down the top with a spatula or the bottom of a glass.

Cool and slice:
For the cleanest slices, let the flapjacks cool completely, at least 1 to 2 hours, before using the parchment paper to lift them out of the pan. Use a serrated bread knife to slice 9 large or 16 small flapjacks.
Store flapjacks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
