- Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow the flapjacks to cool for 10 minutes before cutting the flapjacks into 9 bars in the tin.

Notes
I would highly recommend keeping the flapjacks in the tin until they have completely cooled - you risk the flapjacks breaking apart if you remove them from the tin beforehand.
Store your protein flapjacks in an airtight container, either at room temperature or in the fridge, for up to 5 days. These are also perfect for freezing, just defrost fully in the refrigerator before eating. You could also pop the flapjack in the microwave for 20 seconds to get the chocolate chips gooey and melty.
If your flapjack mixture looks a little too dry when you are combing the ingredients, add a splash of more milk. The mixture should be quite thick anyway, but you don’t want any dry oats!
For added sweetness, try adding dried fruit such as raisins, dried cranberries, or dried apricots
