My homemade healthy flapjacks are the perfect way to start your day! They are full of flavor, easy to make, and are the best breakfast even on those busy mornings. Vegan, gluten-free, great for kids, and can be a healthy snack option too!
tbsp maple syrup, note: I reduced the maple syrup to keep the sugar content low, but for a richer, sweeter, stickier flapjack, I recommend increasing to up to 4 tbsp syrup.
tbsp coconut oil, note: I kept the oil low to keep the fat content down. But if you want a flapjack that is richer and sticks together like a granola bar, I recommend increasing to up to 5 tbsp oil.
0 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
1 Place the nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and butter into a medium pot over medium/low heat. Stir until smooth and combined.
2 In a separate bowl mix together the rest of the ingredients: oats through seeds.
3 Add the dry ingredients to the pot and stir to combine.
4 Pour the mixture into an 8x8 baking dish lined with parchment paper and press down so it’s even (you can use a sheet of parchment paper and a rolling pin to help in pressing it down) The bars should be about ½ inch thick.
5 Bake for 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
6 Cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
