Actually a very good choice for a post work out meal if you combine it with some good protein.Shorter chain carbohydrates are a good choice after a work out.Basically what you're getting is maltose(from whatever grain they're made from) and glucose and possibly fructose from the syrup(that includes honey if you prefer that).
A post work out meal has been shown to be most effective within 15-30 minutes afterwords.This isn't just anecdotal evidence there are studies on such things.You're more likely to replace muscle and liver glycogen if you eat within this window of opportunity.That basically means that those carbs are shunted away from fat cells(adipose tissue) and the carbs stored down as glycogen(stored carbohydrate).
Combining both milk and eggs with this meal with further enhance recovery as well as cause a greater secretion of growth factors(IGF1 and growth hormone) as well as testosterone.If you use protein powders than a whey protein would be best as it's quickly digested and assimilated and has the highest biological value in humans.

If you're making them, try and use less sugar and replace the Golden Syrup with extra butter - this will give you more of a crumbly flapjack rather than a sticky one. Try
6oz Porridge oats
6 oz demerara sugar
6oz Butter or margarine
2 tbsp self raising flour
pinch of salt

It depends on the sugar content. You can get some without sugar from some health food shops, there is a good brand called St Clements that has no added sugar, just fruit juice.

Basically junk food unless made from scratch ingredients. And if you use a fruit compote instead of syrup.

It's also a good source of soluble fibre which is good for your guts. Lets not mention the sugar and fats though.

Unfortunately junk food.
Everything about them says 'wholesome', but they are infact nasty slabs of fat and sugar. Damned shame.
