Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan. Grease and line a 20cm square baking tin with baking paper.
Step 2
Put the butter, sugar, mincemeat, cinnamon and salt into a saucepan and set over a medium high heat. Stirring, allow everything to melt together and the sugar to dissolve into the mixture.
Step 3
Put the oats into a mixing bowl and add the molten ingredients and give it all a good stir to coat the oats completely – they should be totally moistened. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, press down with the back of a spoon and pop into the oven.

Bake for 25 minutes for chewy flapjacks, or 30 minutes if you prefer them slightly more well done. Allow to cool completely then cut into 8 bars or 16 bite-sized pieces. These will store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
