These healthy chocolate flapjacks are so yummy. Don't get too distracted by the word healthy, when you're eating them that won't be top of your mind! They are chewy chocolatey flapjacks, studded with chunks of rich dark chocolate...totally delicious!
Equipment
- large bowl and fork
- saucepan if using butter rather than oil
- baking tin 20 cm x 10 cm
- baking paper
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe banana
- 30 g butter or use coconut or olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 120 g oats
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
- 35 g dark chocolate, cut into pea sized chunks optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Line the base of a 20 x 10 cm baking tin with baking paper.
- Melt the butter over a very low heat. If your honey is quite solid, add it to the pan too to soften it. Skip this step if you've using a liquid oil.
- Mash the banana with a fork in a large bowl.
- Add the oats, butter, honey and cocoa to the banana and mix well. Add the chocolate chunks.
- Transfer the mixture to the lined baking tin. Bake for 30 minutes, turning partway if necessary.
- Leave the flapjacks to cool in the tin until cool enough to handle. Remove from the tray and finish cooling on a wire rack. Cut into 6 squares or slices.
Notes
- You can either use butter, or a healthy oil such as coconut or olive oil.
- Maple syrup can be substituted for honey.
