These are so tasty, going to school mom just to give us healthy flapjacks like these and we used to adore them, the are easy to make and make a nice healthier treat! For those who don’t know flapjacks or healthier flapjacks they are oat based biscuits that are typically high in fibre due to the main ingredient being oats. We use coconut sugar and maple syrup here as the sweeteners, if you don’t have coconut sugar just use brown sugar. The last ingredient is vegan butter which is widely available in most supermarkets. If you cant get vegan butter just use margarine or vegetable oil and use less to avoid the flapjacks being greasy, we recommend 110g or 110ml instead of the 150g of vegan butter in the recipe below. The make the flapjacks chewier just back them for less time such as 20 mins and for crispier flapjacks bake them for longer such as 30 mins.

Just made a batch, and they are sooooooooooooo good!!🥰🥰thank you Happy Pear for an easy tasty delicious recipe.🙏🙏your the besf🥰
These are the best! My kids just love them in lunch boxes.
I found these too sweet and they fell apart (maybe due to using normal butter). 30 mins cooking time was too long in my oven, they had a burnt flavour. Would recommend 20-25 mins.
I’ve made them they are cooling off but I’m scared of them, so much fat and sugar I used coconut oil…I also cooked them 20-25 minutes in a normal electric oven and left them in the oven…they are too sweet but that is the essence of a flapjack sweet and fatty 🙂
