Great for breakfast or a snack, these yummy peanut butter flapjacks will give you the energy you need for the day. Packed full of complex carbohydrates, along with healthy fats and protein.
Ingredient Notes:
Oats: rolled porridge oats are best for texture
Peanut Butter: you can opt for any nut butter you like they are all delicious had hold great nutritional benefits. I tend to stick to peanut butter for this recipe due to it being easily available and more cost effective. If you prefer a creamier milder flavour I highly recomend cashew butter.
Maple syrup: You can opt for agave syrup or honey (if you are not vegan)but maple syrup is my favourite for flavour.
Bananas: you want some really ripe bananas here, they will be sweeter and cook down better, if you’ve only got green. give this recipe a miss they really wont work.
85% Dark Chocolate: Don’t substitute, dark high cocoa chocolate is not only nutritionally superior but will give the perfect sweetness balance to these flapjacks.
