I realise its too late now but it might help someone else.

I have substituted marmalade for honey/syrup but I guess any preserve would do.

How did the muffins go?

i wasn't sure if you could substitute something as the golden syrup gives it its stick together power, doesn't it?

Muffins were fine

Might get some golden syrup soon though as I've got flapjack cravings now :rotfl:

Mmmmm. it's alwasy worth keeping some in just for flapjacks!

Golden syrup substitute should offer you some ideas . I'll merge this for you now!

The marmalade works fine. I used it when I ran out of golden syrup and honey. No problems with crumbling.

Recipe:

Makes 10x10 inch tray

6oz Butter/marg
4oz Golden syrup/honey/marmalade!
4oz Demerara sugar (or granulated/caster/golden/softbrown/etc)
12oz oats

Preheat oven Gas 5
Grease tin/tray
Melt butter/marg and sugar together
remove from heat
stir in oats and syrup/honey/maramalade
press into tin
bake 40ish minutes till golden
slice while warm
turn out when cold

Not too much prep, long hassle free cooking, easy finishing. Good breakfast/snack on the go and cheap. Liven up with fruit, nuts and spices.

You're welcome! I use Vitalite so more healthy than butter. I hope it is outweighed by the oats, fruit and nuts.
