I absolutely love flapjacks and since turning to a plant-based diet decided to try and make a dairy-free healthier version. After several attempts, i came up with these. Healthy, nutritious and delicious. You can of course use gluten-free oats if you are dairy intolerant.
The trick is to leave them in the fridge long enough for the coconut oil to harden. Don't forget you have to use baking parchment to lift them successfully out of the tray or disaster strikes!
Once again with most of my recipes, you can add all sorts of seeds, berries, nuts, and dates to your mix. Have a go and let me know how you get on.

- 2 tablespoons of raw coconut oil
