Ingredients
- 2 cups 180g rolled oats
- 1 cup 150g mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, and pecans), chopped
- 1/2 cup 120ml honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup 60ml coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup 75g dried fruit (such as cranberries, apricots, or raisins) - Optional
- 2 tablespoons 30ml nut butter (such as peanut, almond, or cashew butter) - Optional
- 1 tablespoon 15ml ground cinnamon - Optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and chopped nuts. Stir to mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is fully incorporated. If using any optional add-ins, fold them in now.
- Transfer the flapjack mixture to the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread it out evenly, pressing it down firmly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Keep a close eye on them to prevent overcooking.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the flapjacks cool completely in the pan. This will help them firm up and hold their shape.
- Once cooled, lift the flapjacks out of the pan (using the parchment paper, if used) and cut them into squares or bars.
