Simple almond flapjacks use all the typical flapjack ingredients to make – sugar, butter, golden syrup and oats – but with a few extras thrown in – ground almonds, almond extract or almond essence and flaked almonds to finish it off. The three different almond additions mean that there’s a lot of depth of flavour throughout this traybake and everyone will appreciate the almond flavour.
