These easy air fryer flapjacks are deliciously soft and chewy, and are quick and simple to make in the trusty air fryer. Air fryers are great for making flapjacks as they cook the mixture evenly and create a golden crust with a soft chewy centre. These flapjacks are not only super easy to make, they are healthy and nutritious. Not only that, they can be stored in an air tight container for up to one week after making. Although it is unlikely that they would not have been eaten up in the first few days of course!
You can make a batch of these delicious flapjacks using just four simple staple ingredients that you will have in your pantry – golden syrup, oats, butter and sugar. And baking them in your air fryer means they are even quicker than traditional oven baked flapjacks.

Ingredients for air fryer flapjacks
250g of porridge oats
85g of light brown sugar
30g of pumpkin seeds (optional)
30g of sultanas (optional)
150g of golden syrup
4 tablespoons of peanut butter
Method
So I started by adding 250g of porridge oats, 85g of light brown sugar, 30g of pumpkin seeds, 30g of sultanas, 150g of golden syrup and 4 tablespoons of peanut butter to a large mixing bowl. Then thoroughly mix all of the ingredients together using a spatula.
Next put your flapjack mixture into a baking tray lined with baking parchment. My baking tray is 30 cm x 20 cm which fitted into my single drawer air fryer perfectly. But make sure your baking tray fits into the drawer of your air fryer first! Then firmly pat down the flapjack mixture using the spatula.
Then cover the baking tray with tin foil and place into the air fryer drawer. Leave the crisper plate in the air fryer to help the hot air to circulate. Cook your flapjacks on 180c for around 10 minutes. Then carefully remove the tin foil and cook for a further 3 minutes to brown the top of the flapjacks.
Carefully remove the baking tray from the air fryer and leave to cool. Finally cut your air fryer flapjacks into 12 equally sized squares and serve these delicious sweet treats with a cup of tea or coffee!
