  • ½ cup sunflower oil
  • 1 cup jumbo rolled oats
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup ground almonds (almond flour) , or substitute with oats
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • 6 tbsp honey

  • 3 apples, pealed, cored and cubed
  • ¼ tsp salt

For the drizzle

  • 1 tsp runny peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp icing sugar, sifted
  • 1-2 tbsp plant milk

Instructions

For the Flapjacks

  1. Preheat oven to 180C and line a medium sized square baking tray with baking paper (mine is roughly 22cm X 22cm)

  2. Make the apple purée by adding the chopped, cored and pealed apples in a microwave safe bowl submerged in hot water. Microwave for 3-4 minutes on high checking them have way through.

  3. Once the apples have soften, mash them with a fork

  4. In a large bowl, whisk together sunflower oil , vanilla essence, peanut butter, apple purée and honey

  5. In a separate bowl combine the jumbo oats, rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

  6. Slowly stir in the wet mix and stir. Add more oats if the mixture is looking too wet. If the mixture is looking too dry add a little plant milk.

  7. Add the chopped dates and stir to combine

  8. Add the mixture to the dish and press down with your hands and a metal spoon to even out

  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden. Cut into slices whilst still hot.

For the drizzle

  1. In a bowl, add the peanut butter to the sifted icing sugar then stir. Add another tbsp of plant milk if necessary and stir until you have a slightly runny smooth mixture

  2. Once the flapjacks have completely cooled, drizzle the peanut butter icing over the flapjacks with a small spoon.
