Protein Flapjack Bars

Flapjacks are my favourite, always loved eating them and making at home. They are very easy to make and doesn’t need too many ingredients. Oats with syrup and butter makes a soft butter texture, such a delight.

However I haven’t made traditional flapjack today, it’s a quick easy non bake version, packed with protein. Sticking to no cooking no baking dessert week this is my second attempt to make something indulgent but still healthy.

This Protein Flapjack bars are made with rolled oats, maple syrup, coconut oil, flaxseed, dates and cashews, topped with dark chocolate. It’s a easy recipe which you can make your own, adding your own favourite protein, can swap the dark chocolate with white or milk chocolate.

It’s full of nutrition, you can easily pass this as breakfast bars, with coffee lol why not try them.
