British Flapjacks

I got this from this month's Bon Appetit magazine in an article by Molly Wizenberg.

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/4 cup golden syrup (apparently found in some supermarkets and specialty stores...I used regular syrup because it's what I had.)
2 1/3 cups quick-cooking oats (not instant or old fashioned) (or if you're me, you have 1 1/2 cups of oats and you substitute in like 3/4 cup of granola cereal).

Prehead oven to 350. Butter an 8x8x2 pan. Combine the butter, sugar and syrup in a saucepan and cook stirring constantly over medium-low heat until everything is dissolved, melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Add oats and a pinch of salt. Stir until coated. Transfer mixture to prepared pan and spread out in an even layer.

Bake for 25 minutes until top is golden (edges will be darker). Remove and let cool in pan for 5 minutes. Cut into 4 squares then cut each square into 2 triangles. It will still be a little soft. Let cool completely in pan before serving.

Enjoy!
