- No-added sugar flapjacks
- Serves: 8-16
Method
These quick, easy-to-make flapjacks have no refined sugar added to them. Instead, they are sweetened with fruit. They are perfect for baby-led weaning and to give to hungry toddlers.
- Preheat the oven to 170°C/340°F/ gas mark 4. Line a baking dish (8in x 8in) with some parchment paper.
- Blitz the oats in a food processor for a few seconds to break them down a bit. Transfer the oats into a large bowl and mix in the desiccated coconut.
- In a blender, blitz the melted coconut oil, bananas, dates and fruit juice until it forms a sticky paste. Pour this on the oat mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
- Scoop the mixture into the dish and press down with the back of the spoon to make it compact. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges of the mixture are beginning to brown.
- Lift the parchment out of the dish and leave to cool before cutting into eight large or 16 small pieces.
