Flapjacks.

I have always thought this term was another name for pancakes. But when I went to look for images, the majority of what I see is a grainy bars that look like something nutritional.

This site says:

What are Flapjacks?​

While the term flapjack referred to a pancake in the United States and Canada in years gone by, it originated in the UK where it refers to a baked bar prepared from oats, butter, golden syrup and sugar that is formed into a large, flat rectangle, baked and then cut into small rectangles.

Dating back to at least the early 1600’s in England, the term “flap” refers to a flat cake while “Jack” refers to an ordinary, or common, man (like “Joe” today in the U.S.). In other words, this centuries-old pastry was of the common folk; unadorned with simple, accessible ingredients.
