My 2 in 1 healthy flapjacks and granola recipe! 🍪

When my eldest was a toddler, I wanted to get more nuts and seeds into his diet, so scoured the internet for some kind of baby friendly healthy oat/seed bar. After all, what better way to hide bundles of nutrition than in a sweet bake? Especially when it’s so yummy all the adults love it too!

I discovered @hedgecomber’s healthy flapjack recipe which I used as a base, then over the years I have trialled lots of different additional fillings. Taking inspiration from the granola recipe by @rebeccawilsonfood I then discovered that after baking, if you crumble it up and pop it back in the oven it turns into a banging granola.

📝 Ingredients for the base

180g oats
Approx 75g butter of your choice (melted)
3 bananas
1 heaped teaspoon mixed spice (or cinnamon if you’d prefer)

Your choice of ingredients for the filling, I normally throw in as many of the below as I have in my cupboard:

Chopped dates
Chopped dried apricots
Raisins/sultanas
Dried cranberries
Chia seeds
Flax seeds
Sunflower seeds
Sesame seeds
Dried fruit and nut mixes
Coconut shavings
Ground almonds
Chocolate chips if you fancy being cheeky
My latest addition: chopped glacé cherries!

👩🏻‍🍳 Recipe

Throw all of the ingredients for the base into a bowl and mix well. Add the fillings of your choice in and again mix well so they’re evenly distributed.

Pop your oven to 180°C and allow your mix to soak in all the buttery banana goodness.

Grease and line a square baking tin, then pack the mixture in. Press it down with the back of a spoon and really try to apply pressure to flatten it down as much as you can.

Sprinkle with coconut shavings.

Pop it in the oven for approx 20-25 minutes until it’s golden brown and the edges are crispy.

Leave it to cool in the tin then cut into big slices or enjoy it warm and a bit more crumbly!

🍫 If you want to be really fancy, drizzle over some melted chocolate for decoration. Enjoy!

Let me know if you give it a try!
