Written by Laura Ashmore | Nov 29, '21

 

INGREDIENTS 

  • 175ml vegetable oil 
  • 260g jumbo oats
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed 
  • 35g sunflower seeds
  • 35g pumpkin seeds
  • 35g desiccated coconut
  • 50g flaked almonds 
  • 20g flax seeds
  • 20g sesame seeds
  • 50g honey

METHOD 

  1. Grab a large mixing bowl and put it over a weighing scales, this will save time and wash up as you can measure each of the ingredients directly into the mixing bowl. 
  2. Add the jumbo oats, vegetable oil and mashed banana into the bowl and mix well. Ensure all of the oats are coated in the mixture. 
  3. Add the honey into the mixture and give another good mix. 
  4. Mix in all of the nuts, seeds and desiccated coconut.  Again, making sure you give it a good stir and everything is evenly coated. 
  5. Use a spatula to get the mixture into a baking tin. Compress the mixture down with a spatula, to make sure it all binds. This will reduce crumbling in your flapjacks. 
  6. Bake at 180° c for 15-20 mins, take out when the top of your flapjacks are golden brown. 
  7. Leave to cool for 15 minutes, then you can take them out of the tin and slice them when they are cool.
