Healthy Blueberry Flapjacks
Healthy blueberry flapjacks are chewy oat bars with delicious jammy blueberries through the centre. Flapjacks with fresh blueberries are easy to make, gluten-free and lower in sugar and fat than most flapjack recipes.
Equipment
- 20 x 20cm baking tin
- baking paper
- saucepan
- mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 60 g butter or can use vegan butter or coconut oil
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 2 ripe bananas
- 240 g porridge oats
- 125 g blueberries
Instructions
- Line a 20x20cm baking tray with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (160 fan).
- Gently melt the butter and honey together in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from the heat as soon as they have melted.
- Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in the melted butter and honey.
- Add the oats and stir together to mix well.
- Spoon half of the mixture into the lined baking tray. Press down firmly with the back of the spoon which will help the flapjacks to hold together.
- Spread the blueberries evenly over the top of the mixture.
- Add the remaining half of the oat mixture on top of the blueberries. Spread the mixture over and press down.
- Bake for 30 minutes. The cooked flapjacks should be lightly golden and set.
- Leave to cool in the baking tray. Then remove and cut into 12 squares.
Notes
- Ripe bananas are better as they will add more natural sweetness to the recipe.
- Leave the flapjacks to cool in the tin so that they set firmly and don't fall apart.
