Damien’s FlapJacks

October 11, 2018

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This recipe has been my husband Damien’s go-to flapjack recipe for many years and he has modified it from its very humble beginnings to make a more healthy snack. I think he first made it with his mother as a child.

It’s great to add to a school lunchbox or to bring along on a family hike or bike ride.

I would recommend experimenting with different dried fruits, seeds and nuts. You can even add desiccated coconut if you like.

In the recipe I say 50 to 100 grams of raisins. This is a matter of taste. My son prefers less raisins while Damien likes more.

You can also leave out any of the seeds or nuts if you have allergies. We leave out the nuts when taking them to school as our school as a no nut policy.

When the baked flapjacks are taken from the oven, they are still quite soft to the touch. Don’t be alarmed by this as they will harden over time. I would recommend waiting a number of hours or even overnight to cut them as otherwise they will crumble into pieces.
