Creating a Delightful Vegan and Gluten-Free Cherry Bakewell Flapjack Recipe

Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F), and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
Combining the oats, ground almonds, and flour in a substantial mixing vessel.
Combine the margarine and maple syrup in a small saucepan over low heat, allowing them to melt together as the mixture simmers gently.
Combine the dry ingredients with a pour, mixing until well incorporated, followed by the addition of two tablespoons of almond extract, stirring to blend.
Place approximately half of the mixture firmly into a prepared lined baking tray, ensuring even coverage. Precisely target the perimeters with meticulous care.
Amidst the oat layer, spread three generous spoonfuls of rich jam, allowing its sweet essence to mingle with the crunchy texture. Then, incorporate some chewy dried fruit for added bursts of flavor and texture.
Position the remaining oat mixture atop the jam, ensuring an even layer using either a chilled spoon or fingers to gently flatten it, followed by a firm press to secure the two components together seamlessly.
Position the tray in the center of the preheated oven and allow it to bake for exactly 20 minutes.
Flip the dish over, then continue baking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until a beautiful golden crust forms.
After removing the tray from the oven, allow the golden brown contents to rest on a wire cooling rack, permitting them to cool completely.
Arrange the flapjack into uniform square portions, then store them in the refrigerator to permit the topping to solidify fully.
