Looks worth a try!
I find most flapjack recipes behave even better with the addition of a very small amount of cold water.
Any suggestions why?

Might be the same as adding some flour here. Water would dissolve some starch/gluten and allow it to ooze between oats. When bakes the water would leave but the protein would remain. So a better texture. More structure. But, depends what you mean by better? Might be you just like them slushie?

Not slushy..but not jawbreaking either! And not falling apart. It doesn't have to be a lot of water
The explanation of the chemistry makes sense.

Hm. Maybe I baked them 5 minutes too long. They are very hard this morning. Biscuit like. I made them thinner, too. Very nice flavour. But crunchy now.
