Festive Flapjacks!

Festive Flapjacks!

As the festive season has started I thought I'd make you some festive flapjacks! Made with gluten free oats they're a great festive treat for everyone. I came up with this recipe whilst chatting with my lovely dietetic friends :)

(Makes 9 bars)

Ingredients:

100g jumbo oats (I used gluten free oats from waitrose)

30g dried cranberries

40g pumpkin seeds

1 orange 

2 medjool dates

4 tbsp golden syrup

50ml water

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. To a bowl add the oats, cranberries and pumpkin seeds. Then using a fine grater grate the zest of the orange and using scissors chop up the dates and add to the bowl. Finally add the golden syrup and water and mix together. Line a dish or tin with baking paper and press in the mixture using a spatula or spoon. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until golden. Allow to cool then cut into squares are serve! 

Absolutely delicious. One tip to speed up the cooking would be to have the grill on at the same time. But keep an eye on them as they could burn more easily. I hope you enjoyed the recipe and that it gets you into the festive spirit!

Apple Crumble (4 Vegan Ingredients)

Apple Crumble (4 Vegan Ingredients)

Since the summer having an endless supply of amazing apples from our apple tree I’ve developed an absolute love for apple crumble! I think i’ve perfected this crumble recipe to the t so I thought it really was well worth sharing. This could easily be made gluten free using pure oats but I really do love flahavans jumbo oats which I use in this recipe. I do love this crumble with custard but if you don’t have any corn flour or custard powder I have a solution for you. Almond milk! Yes just adding almond milk  makes it taste incredible! I do hope you make this delicious crumble and tag me in your recreations on instagram or snapchat. Anyways without further a do here’s the recipe:

(serves 1)

Ingredients:

2 medium apples

50g flahavans jumbo oats

2 tbsp coconut nectar or maple syrup

1 tbsp water (optional)

1 cup almond milk (your preference)

To start with finely dice the apples and add to a small pan. Add enough water to just, but not quite cover the apple, then boil covered until soft. Meanwhile, mix the oats, coconut nectar and water in a bowl. Once the apple is cooked pour into a baking bowl or dish and top with the crumble. Bake or grill for 10 minutes on 180 degrees celsius until golden. Then serve topped with the almond milk!

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do (eaten almost every day during summer haha)! 

Have a wonderful crumbleful day,

Lots of love,
