Ingredients
- 300g rolled oats
- 225g dates, chopped
- 60g desiccated coconut
- 1 ½ lemons, zested
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 ½ apples, grated
- 2 tbsp maple or agave syrup – or honey!
- 100g margarine or coconut oil
Serves 4
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C Fan /200°/gas mark 6 and grease a baking tray (line with baking paper for extra security).
- Add the oats, chopped fruit, coconut, lemon juice, zest and grated apple into a food processor or blender. Pulse until the ingredients are well mixed and broken down into your ideal texture.
- In a saucepan, add the honey, syrup, and butter (or oil), and heat over a gentle flame until melted.
- Transfer the dry mixture into the saucepan and stir well, making sure it’s completely coated in the syrup.
- Pour your healthy flapjack mixture into the greased tin and press it in to form an even surface.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 20 minutes until your flapjacks turn golden brown.
- While your bake is still hot, use a knife to cut it into 12 equal pieces. Once you’ve cut them into shape, leave them in the tin to cool.
