Flapjack (oat bar)

A flapjack, muesli bar, cereal bar, or granola bar is a sweet tray-baked oat bar made from rolled oats, butter, brown sugar and golden syrup.

The item is known as a "flapjack" in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man and Ireland and as a "muesli bar" or "cereal bar" in Australia and New Zealand. In other countries, including Canada, the United States, and South Africa, such products are referred to as " oat bars", while the word "flapjack" is used to describe a pancake. In the UK, the term "cereal bar" is often used to describe products which contain fruits, nuts, other cereals apart from oats, and, occasionally, chocolate.
