Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 175C and grease a 20cm square baking tin.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the oats, dates, coconut, pumpkin and sunflower seeds together.

Step 3

Add the vanilla and mashed bananas to the melted butter and honey, and then pour into the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly.

Step 4

Press the mixture firmly into your tin and sprinkle over the extra seeds.

Step 5

Bake for 15-20 mins until golden on top and it’s coming away from the sides of the tin.

Step 6

Take out of the oven and, while it’s still warm, use a knife to score where you will cut. Leave in the tin to cool before cutting.

​

- For simpler flapjacks, leave out the seeds and coconut;
- Add some warming spice like cinnamon or ground ginger;
- Substitute the dates with another sweet dried fruit such as apricots or cherries;
- Make dairy-free flapjacks by replacing the butter with a dairy-free margarine.
