The flapjack is a classic British treat, they tend to be a little different in flavour than American granola bars but then share a lot of the same ingredients. Traditionally flapjacks are not a “healthy” food but these toddler friendly flapjacks are dairy & refined sugar free. So you can feel good about offering them as snack or on the go breakfast for your little human (and for yourself)

Ingredients
-
2 bananas (about 250g)
-
3 tbsp smooth peanut butter (50g)
-
80g coconut oil
-
40g maple syrup
-
300g of rolled oats
-
40g desiccated coconut
-
50g raisins
-
50g chopped dried apricots
Directions
Pre-heat the oven to 400F and line the bottom of an 8x8 brownie tin with parchment paper (a 9” round cake tin will also work just fine)
Add the all of dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine.
In a medium bowl mash the banana with a fork and wisk together with the rest of the wet ingredients.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix together with a metal spoon until thoroughly combined.
Spoon the mixture into your prepared brownie tin and press it down firmly with the back of a spoon or with clean hands. This helps everything to bind together so you don’t end up with a crumbly mess.
Bake in a preheated oven for 15-18 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the baking tin for 10 minutes. Once they have cooled in the tin you can slide the whole flapjack onto a board to cut into pieces. It’s best to cut them while they’re still warm.
Enjoy warm or cold, store them in an airtight container on the counter for 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
