Liam's Energy Flapjacks

Energy Flapjack Recipe

Ingredients:

• 300g rolled oats

• 25g chia seeds

• 25g ground flaxseeds

• 25g ground almonds

• 50g peanut butter

• 100g sugar

• 100g honey

• 200g coconut oil

• 1 tbsp water

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Melt the Wet Ingredients:

   • In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut oil, honey, sugar, and peanut butter.

   • Heat gently over low to medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent burning.

   • Cook until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved, ensuring it’s no longer grainy.

3. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:

   • Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, and ground almonds to the melted mixture. Stir well to evenly coat the dry ingredients.

   • Add 1 tablespoon of water to soften the oats and mix thoroughly.

4. Bake the Flapjack:

   • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tray and press it down firmly and evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until lightly golden on top.

5. Cool and Slice:

   • Allow the flapjack to cool in the tray for about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into bars or squares.

Storage:

• Keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

• For longer storage, wrap individual pieces in cling film and freeze.
