Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C(fan)/350°F/Gas 4. Line a 30x20cm (12x10") baking tin.
In a saucepan add 220 g Butter, 200 g Light brown sugar and 6 tablespoon Golden syrup. Over a low heat melt everything together until liquid.
Add 350 g Oats, 200 g Mincemeat, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon and the zest of 1 Orange. Mix well to combine.
Pour the mixture into the lined tin and press it down to evenly spread it out. Put into the oven for 20 minutes.
Notes
If you wanted to make a boozy grown-up version of these, you could add a tiny splash of rum with the mincemeat. Not too much though, as you don't want to make the mixture too wet.
Make sure to pack all the mixture down into the pan fully before it goes in the oven, so they don't crumble when cutting. You can use the back of a spoon to push the mixture down.
To make these mincemeat flapjacks easier to cut, score cut marks in them when they come out of the over and leave to cool before cutting fully.
These mince pie flapjacks will still look and feel soft when they come out of the oven, but they will harden as they cool. Only put them back in the oven if they are still totally wet.
Allow them to cool completely before cutting, otherwise they will fall apart.
