Peanut Butter Oat Bars {British Flapjacks}

This quick and easy recipe for Peanut Butter Oat Bars {British Flapjacks} are a chewy, oaty treat that’s packed with peanut butter goodness and finished with a dark chocolate drizzle.

These Peanut Butter Oat Bars won’t keep you in the kitchen long, but the end result will taste like you slaved, baking in the kitchen for hours!  They’re perfect as an afternoon pick-me-up or after dinner dessert.

If you’ve never had a British Flapjack, imagine a buttery, oatmeal cookie bar that’s got a sticky sweet syrup baked right in,  One day I’ll make a basic flapjack to bake for you, but these were a special request so I had to start with these.

 

This recipe makes a sweet, buttery, rich oat bar that’s packed full of peanut butter flavor.  The dark chocolate is the perfect paring balancing out the sweetness perfectly.

I have a friend who tried these Peanut Butter Oat Bars and liked them so much, she makes them as a quick grab weekday breakfast.  She makes a big batch on Sunday night and she’s all set for the week!
The oddest part about my friend – she doesn’t normally like peanut butter all that much, but it she likes it in this recipe. If that’s not a raving review, I don’t know what is!
The best part about this recipe is it’s so easy to make!  You just melt golden syrup (which is an amber colored syrup with a rich, deep sweetness that you can buy here on Amazon) with brown sugar and butter.  Melt in the peanut butter and honey.  

Add the oats, mix and bake for 40 – 45 minutes.  

Once cooled, drizzle with dark chocolate and leave to set before serving.

Super simple!
