Apple and cinnamon flapjacks
Oh hey! I can confirm its definitely been a while since I've done much baking and definitely since I've written a blog post about it! I actually landed yesterday afternoon from two months of travelling New Zealand and Australia so trying to fill my day with lots of good cooking to stop me from falling asleep.
I had the most amazing two months and now feel ready to get back into the swing of things. For lent, mainly as a test of willpower, I've taken on the challenge of giving up refined sugars.
I'm excited to experiment with new recipes and see the different things I can cook and eat to make my diet more exciting and varied.
I'm the type of person that always craves something sweet after I've eaten so I've been investigating different recipes to bake with natural sugars to ease me into it! These are apple and cinnamon flapjacks - a combination of different recipes I came across - and they're so delicious!

*Turns out these were very crumbly and quite difficult to cut up!! I actually transferred to cupcake cases and baked for a bit longer to hold them together. Use a little more peanut butter as a gluing agent or maple syrup if you're not being too sugar free!

Ingredients;
- 200g oats
- 150ml coconut oil - melted
- 3 apples - I used Granny Smith but any are fine!
- 3tbsps pumpkin/sunflower seeds
- 1tsp cinnamon
- 1tsp flaxseed
- 1tbsp almond/peanut butter.
Method;
- Preheat the oven to 180degreesC and line a 20cm square baking tin with greaseproof paper.
- Chop the apples into cubes and cook on a low heat with about 3tbsp water until they become soft and start to break up - add more water if they start to stick to the pan before soft.
- Add in the cinnamon and mix.
- To the pan add the remaining ingredients and mix until all combined - so easy!
- Pour into baking tin and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Cut into squares and enjoy.
