*** FEATURING OUR LOVE VEGAN BARS***
Author: Jennifer Sargison
These flapjacks are secretly healthy and made with our Love Vegan bars and just a few other ingredients. Ready in just four simple steps they’ll be ready to demolish in no time. They are perfect as a mid-week lunch box treat and also great for the weekend as a snack, on the go or to fuel weekend activities.These flapjacks are a good choice if you’re looking for a healthy and tasty treat.
Ingredients
175 g oats (can be GF if needed)
25 g seeds (I used pumpkin and sunflower)
100 g smooth peanut butter
60 g coconut oil
1 tbsp cacao powder
2 Love Vegan bars - any flavour will do. The plain cacao works wonderfully for a rich chocolatey taste and the caramel and peanut will produce a more nutty flavour, then there’s the orange…the coffee…cherry.... so many to choose- just go with your favourite.
Strawberries or other fruit choice to serve
Method
Lined a brownie sized tin with some baking paper making sure you leave some paper over the sides so you can easily remove the flapjacks once they’ve set.
Blend the Love Vegan bars in a food processor and put the blended bars into a large bowl.
Add the seeds and oats and mix together and leave to one side.
Add the peanut butter and coconut oil to a small pan and simmer over a low heat until the ingredients have fully melted and mix them together.
Pour the peanut butter mixture to bowl with the oaty mixture and mix really well
Have a little taste at this point and feel free to add a choice of sweetener if you prefer your flapjacks sweeter and if the mixture is too crumbly you may also add a little more melted oil.
Transfer the mixture to the lined tin and press down firmly using the back of a spoon, making the mixture as compact as possible (this will make it easier to cut once it has been chilled)
Place in the fridge for a couple of hours and then slice into chunks

Although many of my recipes are gluten free please make sure you double check your ingredients to check. I am not intolerant to gluten so am no expert but I still like to provide GF options, please fully read your packets at home before making this, thank you :)
