Greetings comrades. I’m back today to share another healthy bake with you. I’ve been thinking about sharing my healthy flapjack recipe for a while now and as so many people liked my healthy chocolate muffins, I thought you would all like this too! We also needed some snacks in the house. These healthy flapjacks are another one of my go to healthy bakes for my kids.

It is kind of a flapjack version of my granola. In fact thats exactly what it is. I love them, they are chewy and sweet and well also healthy! The banana, honey and coconut oil give it a lovely light, natural sweetness. You really don’t even need much honey as the coconut oil gives it so much sweet flavour. The peanut butter makes it super delicious and the cranberries gives it an extra pop of sweet. 
 

Super power of seeds

I’m not actually going to go into the list of all of the vitamins and minerals seeds can offer you. Alls you need to know (and I’m sure you already know) that seeds are good for you. One thing I will mention though is that they contain healthy fats (especially chia seeds) which give our body good long lasting energy and cell regrowth. Cell regrowth means healthy hair and skin.

Energy Boost

These flapjacks are an amazing mid morning snack to give you an energy boost. With oats, nut butter and seeds your body will respond well to these natural ingredients. We usually find ourselves turning to refined carbs or sugar for an energy boost which will leave you feeling sluggish and heightening your glucose levels, then leaving you unsatisfied and craving more food.

If you can get into the habit of making yourself healthy snacks like these, you will notice a change in your mood, energy levels and body fat.

Let’s bake.

Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 40 minutes Yield: 10

Ingredients

  • 330g Oats
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 desiccated coconut
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup line seeds
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 5 tablespoons cup raw extra virgin coconut oil
  • 5 tablespoons unsweetened nut butter
  • 2/3 cup honey

Okay so this might seem like a lot of ingredients and if you cant find some of them in the shop or just don’t want to spend a fotune – no problem! Just leave them out or put what ever variation of seeds, nuts and dried fruit in you like and have already in the house. Even chunks of dark chocolate would be mmmm.

To begin preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F. Grab yourself a baking tray. I used an 8×8 cm square tray for a thick flapjack.

Melt the coconut oil and peanut butter on a low heat until melted together. Take off the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes while you carry on with the next step.

Mash your ripe bananas.

Pour your peanut butter and oil mixture onto the oats. Mix well until the oats are all a bit wet.

Next mix in your mashed banana.

It’s getting a bit flapjackey now. The oats will start to stick together.

Add in all of your seeds, coconut, dried fruit and honey. Mix mix mix mix mix.

Once mixed. Scoop into your baking tray, spread out and flatten. Put in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes until golden on top. Leave to cool in the tray. Cut up into rectangles or squares. Enjoy as a snack or desert or even breakfast 🙂

My babies cant wait to get their little hands on them!

Thanks for reading.

My new faaaaavourite smoothie ingredient – hulled
My new faaaaavourite smoothie ingredient - hulled hemp seeds. I’ve been focusing on ways to intake omegas 3 and 6 lately as I want to ensure my kids are getting it too. I’ve never liked eating fish which really pains me, I tried salmon a couple of weeks ago and it was OK. I don’t think I enjoy eating it though. I also visited a health food store in Stockton Heath called @pbpshopuk , it’s amazing, they have health foods on dispensers and you just fill up your own jars! I seen these hulled hemp seeds which are high in omega 3&6. I have used them in smoothies and it is so delicious, it gives a very nutty taste and makes the smoothie very thick and creamy, very nice for breakfast. And my kids are loving it too. This smoothie here was; vanilla almond milk, banana, passion fruit, frozen mango and hulled hemp. It was delicious! #hemp #smoothierecipes #healthfood #nutrition #passionfruit #foodblogger #foodblogfeed #deliciousandnutritious #plantbased #omega3 #poweredbyplants

Could this be true?! I have to test it out. This could explain why some months I have bad pms - when I haven’t been eating very well and some months I don’t notice it at all as I include these seeds into my diet daily when I’m keeping up the good work. #seedcycling #seedrotation #hormonebalance

Oh how I’ve missed how my body feels on a plant
Oh how I’ve missed how my body feels on a plant based diet. My gut has not been right thus my mind has not either. I see no need for meat anymore when I can have delicious dishes like this one with so much flavour and every macronutrient, fibre and micronutrients for a balanced meal. As I read more from Dr Megan Rossi - the gut health doctor, I realise the importance of fibre for gut health and digestion, to keep everything moving along and avoid that feel sluggish, tired and fat feeling that we all hate so much. This meal is very high in fibre from the Chickpeas, quinoa, spinach and tomatoes.

Some seeded sourdough to celebrate the end of my assignment! I’ve learnt so much about the link between stress and weight gain and how the diet we choose can temporarily affect our genetics. I have a whole new level of respect for my body. #nutritionaltherapy #nutrition #sourdough #wildyeast #seededsourdough

A recipe from @pritchardswyd recipe book that I got for Christmas. A sweet, tangy, fresh and delicious raw salad that hits every spot on the ole taste buds. I love love love adding nuts into savoury dishes. Not only for taste and texture but for fullness from the essential fats and protein they provide.  The dressing in this salad is amazing, including whole grain mustard which I’m usually not keen on but it really does add an amazing punch to this salad. #rawvegan #vegandressings #plantbased #salads #vegan #vegansalads #saladbowl #delicious #healthysalads #rawfood #foodblogfeed #healthyrecipes

Raspberry and cashew butter porridge with the addition of Berry beauty superfood powder. I have rekindled my love with porridge by making it more interesting with superfoods powders from my sister in laws new business - Mo’s Superfood Kitchen. Good quality and organic nutrient boosters, this one included acai, maqui, maca and acerola. #foodblogfeed #foodblogger #superfoods #nutrition #superfoodpowder #superfoodbreakfast #porridgebowl #winterbreakfast #winterrecipes
