Cranberry & Apricot Seeded Vegan Flapjacks Recipe from www.glutenfreealchemist.com
Introduction
Flapjacks are a traditional British snack that is similar to an oat bar. They are perfect for a quick breakfast, afternoon snack or a sweet treat. The classic recipe uses butter and sugar, which makes them not suitable for vegans. However, with a few tweaks, you can easily make vegan flapjacks that are just as delicious as the original recipe. This recipe is easy to make and only requires a few ingredients.
Ingredients
The ingredients you will need for this recipe are:
250g rolled oats
125g vegan butter
125g brown sugar
4 tablespoons golden syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional: 50g chopped nuts, dried fruit or chocolate chips
Instructions
Follow these simple instructions to make vegan flapjacks:
Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Melt the vegan butter, brown sugar and golden syrup in a saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally until everything is melted and combined.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Add the rolled oats (and optional add-ins) to the pan and stir until everything is coated in the syrup mixture.
Pour the mixture into the lined baking tray and press it down with a spoon or spatula to create an even layer.
Bake the flapjacks for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. They will still be soft when you take them out of the oven, but they will harden as they cool down.
Leave the flapjacks to cool completely in the tray before cutting them into squares or rectangles.
Store the flapjacks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
