Stir in the porridge oats and one tablespoon of blackcurrant jam until completely combined.
Tip half of the mixture into the pre-greased tin and press it down with the back of a spoon.
Spread 6-8 tablespoons of the jam over the flapjack as a middle layer.
Add the remaining other half of the mixture on top and spread it out into all the corners and compact it with the back of a spoon.
