Ginger & Lime Flapjacks

Flapjacks are the perfect gluten free, low FODMAP, refined sugar free snack. Thanks to the oats they leave you feeling full and provide lots of slow release energy compared to shop bought, sugar laden snacks! I love taking flapjacks to work to snack on in the morning or having them as a pre-workout snack before I go to the gym. This simple vegan flapjack recipe is so quick and easy to make

I always use a mix of gluten free rolled oats and porridge oats as I find the rolled ones provide an amazing texture whereas the porridge oats hold them together. I love adding nut butters to my flapjacks as it completely transforms them so decided to try a recipe with tahini and it works perfectly without overpowering the subtle flavours of the lime and ginger.

Makes 9-12 flapjacks

INGREDIENTS:

95g coconut oil, melted

70g tahini

100g maple syrup

125g gluten free rolled oats

125g gluten free porridge oats

Zest and juice of 1 lime

2 tsp ground ginger

METHOD:

• Preheat the oven to 160oc and line an 8×8 inch brownie tin with baking paper
• Whisk the oil, tahini, syrup, lime zest and juice together until smooth
• Stir in all the oats and the ground ginger until completely combined
• Press the mixture into the lined tin and bake for 30 minutes until the top is starting to brown slightly
• Leave the flapjacks to cool in the tin completely before cutting into squares
• Store in an airtight container
