FAQs

What is Biscoff spread?

Biscoff spread is a creamy, cookie butter made from speculoos biscuits. It has a caramelized, spiced flavor.

Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

Rolled oats give the best texture, but quick oats can be used—they’ll make the flapjack slightly softer.

What can I use instead of golden syrup?

Honey or maple syrup works, though it may slightly alter the flavor.

Do I need to press the mixture down before baking?

Yes, press it firmly into the pan for a compact, chewy bar.

How do I keep flapjacks from falling apart?

Let them cool completely before cutting, and don’t skip the syrup—it helps bind the oats.

Can I add chocolate chips?

Yes, stir in chips after the oat mixture has cooled slightly so they don’t melt completely.

Is Biscoff vegan?

Yes, most versions of Biscoff spread are vegan, but check the label to be sure.

Why are my flapjacks too hard or too soft?

Overbaking can make them hard; underbaking or too much syrup can make them soft. Aim for golden edges and a slightly soft center.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, just use a larger pan (9×13-inch) and increase baking time slightly.

What’s the best way to drizzle Biscoff on top?

Melt Biscoff spread in the microwave for 15–20 seconds, then drizzle with a spoon or piping bag.
