A Brief History of Flapjacks

1. Origins in Britain

   • The flapjack, as known in the UK, is a baked oat bar made from rolled oats, butter, and golden syrup or honey.

   • The term flapjack has been used since at least the 16th century in English literature, though originally it referred to a flat tart or pancake, not the oat bar we know today.

2. Evolution of the Recipe

   • The oat-based flapjack emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, coinciding with the wider availability of rolled oats and golden syrup.

   • They became popular as an inexpensive, filling snack, especially valued for energy and durability.

3. Cultural Role

   • Flapjacks have long been associated with school lunches, home baking, and fundraising bake sales in Britain.

   • Their chewy, buttery texture made them a nostalgic treat across generations.

4. Modern Adaptations

   • Today, flapjacks are often enriched with dried fruits, nuts, chocolate, or seeds.

   • In the United States, the word flapjack is more commonly used as a synonym for pancake, which can cause some confusion.

Compact Example:

• UK flapjack = baked oat bar.

• US flapjack = pancake.
