It’s always so helpful to have a quick and easy recipe up your sleeve which uses store cupboard ingredients and tastes delicious too. Even better if it’s accessible to as many people as possible. These healthy flapjacks are great for those who might not be able to indulge in a traditional flapjack because of their dietary requirements. They are gluten free (with the appropriate oats), refined sugar free, nut free and vegan so also perfect for lunchboxes and playdates!
But I’m going to let you into a little secret – my absolute favourite thing about these flapjacks is the total lack of washing up they create! While I love cooking, washing up is not something I enjoy at all. So these are a complete win all round.
