Perfectly sweet, slightly chewy and full of flavor. Everything a flapjack sound be, all with the added bonus of it being kind to your body and to the planet! Sounds good right?
My plant based flapjacks are made with natural ingredients, making them not only good for dessert, but breakfast treats and high- protein snacks too. They’re also really easy to make…so no complicated baking. Just simple deliciousness :).
You can really adapt this recipe however you want, adding dried fruit, crunchy nuts, chocolate chips, orange zest…the possibilities are endless. That way, you’ll never get bored of these healthy snacks. They’re also delicious with a layer of dark chocolate melted over the top for a richer flapjack.

- 90 g (1/2 cup) unrefined sugar
METHOD:
- Preheat the oven to 180c.
