Soooo where do you start with Flapjacks? Everyone has a version and most are great. They are a handy “on the go” snack but can be laden with calories or fat so enjoy but don’t over indulge. They are a good starter to the day with their oats and dried fruit.

Traditionally you make Flapjacks with porridge oats but I have a fussy one in the house who has an issue with textures yet loves Flapjacks so I decided to use oat bran which produced a really nice bar and got a big thumbs up 🙂

Crunchie Traybake – Gluten Free Option included

I am a little hooked on these homemade versions of Crunchies. They are very addictive and very simple to make. I made them gluten free by using GF cornflakes and GF oats. You only need a few ingredients, melting, mixing and some time in the fridge.

You could try replacing the golden syrup with agave syrup for a less processed version and using dark chocolate. Whatever way you decide, they will be delicious!

Wholemeal Banana Oat Muffins – Dairy Free

A lovely healthy and nutritious version of a firm favourite using wholemeal instead of plain flour and healthy oats. The spices give a lovely flavour but you can leave them out if you want a plain muffin. For those on a dairy free eating plan, these are perfect as vegetable oil is used instead of butter. They are lovely and moist and not too sweet so perfect for on the go, a quick breakfast or great snack.
