Notes
Oats: Using a mix of porridge and rolled oats gives the best chewy texture.
Chocolate Chips: Feel free to use milk, dark, or white chocolate.
Texture Tip: For softer flapjacks, bake closer to 18 minutes. For crispier edges, go for 20.
Storage: Best stored at room temperature in a sealed container.
