PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN FLAPJACKS

I love flapjacks, but shop-bought ones are often laden with huge amounts of refined sugar, bad fats and contain paltry portions of nuts and seeds. Here is a simple, quick no-bake recipe which is much tastier, healthier and crammed with goodness. You wont want shop-bought anymore after tasting these! I love to make a batch on Sunday and chill them in the fridge so I have healthy snacks throughout the working week.

These flapjacks are packed with juicy cranberries, crunchy pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, nutty flaxseed, protein powder and rolled oats, providing you with slow-release energy throughout the day and maintaining steady blood sugar levels. The nut butter adds depth of flavour and helps these bars stick together.

They make a great morning breakfast bar, a healthy addition to packed lunch boxes, a sustaining afternoon snack and are great as pre-work out energy bars.

Variations:

• Add tart goldenberries instead of cranberries. These orange tangy fellows are packed with antioxidants and are lovely and chewy.
• Use chia seeds and or poppy seeds and chopped nuts instead of sunflower and pumpkin seeds
• Use cashew or almond butter instead of peanut butter
