There are only 5 ingredients for these flapjacks:
Instructions:
- 360g Oats
- 2 Bananas
- 6 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 6 tbsp Cashew Butter
- 4 tbsp Coconut Oil
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 200°C (fan 180°C)
- Place the oats into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the bananas with a fork and add them to a saucepan with the maple syrup, cashew butter and coconut oil. Allow to simmer until it forms a liquid.
- Pour the liquid over the oats and stir well so that they're fully covered.
- Grease the baking tray with the coconut oil. Transfer the flapjack mix into the baking tray, pressing it down firmly with a spatula so that it's very compact.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the top starts to brown.
- Once its cooked, take the tray out of the oven and leave it to fully cool before slicing the flapjacks up.
