For the strawberry layer
200g strawberries, hulled
1tsp lemon juice
1tsp caster sugar
2tsps cornflour
For the flapjacks
100g Wyke Salted butter
75g tahini
60g soft brown sugar
100g golden syrup
325g jumbo oats
50g mixed seeds, such as pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, linseed and poppy
Preheat the oven to 170°C and grease and line a 20cm square tray with greaseproof baking paper.
Cut the strawberries in half, then transfer them to a small saucepan along with the lemon juice and caster sugar. Place over a medium – low heat and cook until the strawberries begin to release their juices. Sprinkle over the cornflour, then continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the strawberry mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
In a separate saucepan, melt the butter, tahini, sugar and golden together, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until no lumps appear. Tip the oats and seeds into a large mixing bowl and pour over the buttery tahini mixture. Stir to combine until all of the oats are coated and glossy and the seeds are evenly distributed. Scrape ½ the seeded oats into the prepared tin and press down with a spatula. Spread the strawberries over the top of the compressed oats, then spoon the remaining ½ oats over the strawberries. Gently press down with a spatula, then slide the tray into the oven to bake for 35 – 40 minutes until deep golden all over.
Allow the flapjacks to cool for 10 minutes before slicing into 9 squares, then set the tray aside to cool completely (about 2-3 hours), before lifting the squares out with a spatula.
The flapjacks will keep covered in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
