Who doesn’t love a flapjack?! I have made many flapjacks in the past using other people’s recipes, so I decided it was time to develop my own. I knew I wanted to make a flapjack that wasn’t crammed with sugar: this recipe still isn’t 100% healthy, but it does include lots of fruit. This recipe is quick and easy to make and doesn’t make much washing up, either- bonus!
Ingredients- makes 12 slices
- 2 small ripe bananas
- 125g smooth peanut butter
- 125g apple sauce- from a jar or make your own
- 40g light brown soft sugar
- 6 tbsp mixed chopped nuts
- a handful of sultanas
- 250g oats/gluten-free oats
Method
You will need one 20cm square tin lined with greaseproof paper.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees
- Peel and slice the bananas into a medium-sized bowl and mash with a fork until smooth
- Stir in the applesauce, peanut butter and brown sugar- combine well
- Stir in the sultanas and the chopped nuts
- Finally, add the oats and give one final mix
- Tip the mixture into the lined tin and press down so it’s evenly spread
- Pop into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes
- When it starts to brown on the outside it will be ready
- Be patient and allow to cool for 15mins before cutting before cutting into 12 portions
- (Optional!) Make a tea/coffee and enjoy with a slice of warm flapjack!

Hi Emmzee,
I met you at Danny’s block party. I came to meet and greet you. I love flap jacks in all the ingredients you put in them. Favorite flavor? I guess blueberry.
Maybe you can check out my blog if you need any blogging tips. That’s what I write about.

Looks fab – and I have half a ton of oats (ok slight exaggeration there) to use! I am guessing these are chewy?

These look delish! I’m definitely a big flapjack girl (sounds weird..) – I often make ones with golden syrup & maybe the odd choc chip or two.. naughty but nice!! x

Yes, golden syrup is traditional :). In my recipes I like to show there are healthier alternatives 🙂

I love baking with bananas! I make a recipe really similar to this with coconut oil and honey instead of sugar and applesauce, although I imagine they taste pretty similar. In fact, I’m definitely going to give the applesauce a go, I think the texture will be a lot less chewy then. Flapjacks are my absolute weakness and I completely agree with you on all the sugar and crap that you find in the ones in the shops. Homemade is best, am I right? xxx

It’s too hot here to bake, so instead, I had a banana, peanut butter in a tortilla – a yummy alternative in hot weather 😉 Though will try this when we are in a cooler environment!

If it’s not crumbly then it looks excellent for making and taking a slice in your saddlebag on a bike ride too. There are times when you need a flapjack (or two) to give you a boost to get the last few miles and hills done to get home. 😉

Sounds like a plan to me haha. As long as you cut it whilst it is still warm it won’t crumble 🙂
