Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 20cm square tin with baking parchment, leaving some overhanging the sides. Put the butter, sugar, golden syrup and a small pinch of salt in a medium saucepan over a low heat and gently melt together, stirring to combine.
  2. Step 2

    Pour in the oats and desiccated coconut, stirring to combine, then tip the mixture into the tin and smooth the surface using a spatula. Bake for 20-25 mins until golden and bubbling, then leave to cool completely in the tin.
  3. Step 3

    Put the dark chocolate and 1 tbsp coconut oil in a heatproof bowl and melt in 20-second bursts in the microwave (or do this over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water). Repeat in a separate bowl with the white chocolate and 1 tsp coconut oil. Pour the melted dark chocolate over the cooled flapjack, smoothing it to the edges using a spatula. Drop the melted white chocolate over in spoonfuls and gently swirl it over the top to create a marbled effect. Chill until set, about 45 mins-1 hr.
  4. Step 4

    Lift out of the tin in the parchment, then slice into 16 squares. Will keep in an airtight container for a week.
