A batch of freshly baked flapjacks, golden brown with a slightly crisp edge, cut into neat wedges and served on a rustic ceramic plate. The texture of the oats is visible, with a slight sheen of honey glazing the surface. The plate rests on a rustic wooden table, surrounded by a drizzle of honey, a butter knife, and a few scattered oats for a natural touch. Warm, soft lighting enhances the cozy and homemade feel of the scene.
