They are easy to make one evening to set you up with snacks for the week - and you know exactly what is in them, unlike all the cereal bars out there claiming to be healthy or low fat, when they are packed full of extra sugarand additives
The bananas and date syrup are used to sweeten the recipe, so there's no need to use any unrefined sugar, and the coconut oil helps everything stick together while providing healthyfats
The flapjacks are good to go nowand this next step is completely optional. Add the oats, nuts, whey protein and chocolate chips (plus the optional honey and seeds if you want to add them) and give it a good mix, making sure everything is combined together well and there is no powder lurking at the bottom
It's made of fresh milk and as it has less than half the fat of single cream, it makes for a brilliant, healthier alternative when making creamy dishes such as Carbonara, curries, quiches or soups
These healthyflapjacks are gluten, dairy, egg free and contain no refined sugar. If your not already, then follow me on Instagram for daily eats, wellness, lifestyle and my travels
They are deliciously moist thanks to the mashed banana and hold together brilliantly despite not being loaded up with butter and lots of sugar, and since they are basically just fruit and oats they are amazingly good for you- the healthyfat from the coconut oïl will nourish your body and you can always leave the rice syrup out to make them even more virtuous
But continuously coming up with new and varied recipes that are healthyand nutritious is such a battle, particularly when you have other children to feed too
Now I’m well aware that the yogurt aisle in the supermarket is almost bursting at the seems with sugar, so I would suggest a full fat natural yogurt or greek style yogurt or if your children are reluctant to eat plain yogurt, as some of mine are, source a really good quality children’s yogurt such as Glenisk
