The other day I was flicking through an old copy of “muscle
and fitness” that the Boy had left laying around and stumbled across a “protein
flapjack” recipe.
We have tried making flapjacks once but it was a disaster
(not as bad as the infamous “salmon cookies”) as they had no ‘stick’ to them
and crumbled into a thousand pieces so resembled a granola rather than a flapjack.
Tasty but it weren’t a flapjack.

But this recipe seemed so easy, it was definitely worth a
stab at. It is a case of “bung it all in a bowl and mix” something I am a
massive fan of when it comes to baking.
Turns out the “chuck in and bake” method works – out of the
oven came 8 fruity and chewy flapjacks. Plus with these ingredients, they were
actually healthy unlike usual flapjacks that are overloaded with sugars and
fats. These flapjacks provide a good balance of carbs and protein for the perfect
tasty on-the-go snack.

| simple ingredients |
Here is how:
Ingredients:
140 grams of rolled oats
60 grams of vanilla protein
25 gram of melted butter
80 grams of chopped dates ( I just bought whole dates and
chopped them up, don’t waste your dosh on pre-chopped ones)
125 ml of dairy free milk (coconut or almond is great)
1 tablespoon of honey
1 whole egg
 |
| you could use agave nectar too |
Simply mix all the ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
Once combined, press the mixture down well into a greased
cake tin.
To get a golden colour to the flapjacks, I added a drizzle
of honey over the top too
Bake in a pre heated oven at 160*C for about 15 minutes
until you get that lovely flapjacky colour
If you aren’t sure they are cooked, then stick a knife in
them -when you pull the knife out it
should be clear so that is how you know they are done
Remove from the oven, and cut into 6 -8 squares and then
allow to cool.

This recipe is so easy I am not sure it even counts as
baking!
Flapjacks normally really unhealthy because of the butter, but
with just 25g of butter, you’ll save yourself loads of fat! 25g of butter is
next to nothing when it comes to baking I think.
