At my seasonal yoga workshops I usually serve up some tea and treats as a thank you to my class members for attending. Click here for original recipe.
As great and tasty as these flapjacks/cereal bars/seed bites are, they are just soooo crumbly so it's a good job a class member's dog Maisie - the golden cocker drops in at the end to 'hoover' up the crumbs from the church floor!!
So I got my creative baking head on and decided to do a few experiments to see if I could come up with a better recipe, with less of the crumble factor (this is indeed a first world problem - flapjacks that are too crumbly!!) Sorry Maisie, no more crumbs.....
Here is the final recipe:
Banana & Seed Flapjacks (makes about 12 medium sized flapjacks)
200g of porridge oats.
2 mashed bananas.
1 tablespoon of honey (or agave nectar for vegans)
1 large free range egg, beaten (vegans can omit this, this helps bind the flapjacks so there may be more of a crumble factor if omitted)
100g mixed seeds
100g mixed fruit
60ml coconut oil
1. In a saucepan melt the coconut oil and honey together.
2. Mash the bananas and mix together with the beaten egg.
3. Mix the oats with the fruit and seeds.
4. Mix the wet ingredients with the dry.
5. Press into a lined baking tin.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes on 180 degrees C.
Wait until the flapjacks have cooled a little before cutting. Enjoy with a cup of green/chai tea!! Or come along to the next Yogi Claire Yoga Workshop and sample for yourself!!
