Notes
- If you are diabetic or want to avoid all types of sugar, including honey and dates, it is possible to still make flapjacks. In this recipe you can just omit the honey. That said, the flapjacks will be very crumbly but nonetheless enjoyable. The honey allows the mixture to become sticky which keeps it together better.
- This is a base recipe. Feel free to spruce up your flapjacks with welcome additions such as adding a variety of seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, etc.) and dried fruit (dates, apricots, raisins, etc.). If you think think the mixture looks a bit too dry, add a drizzle of honey to firm up.
- These flapjacks are crumblier than your average flapjack. This is because not copious amounts of honey or syrup were used to bind all the ingredients together to make flapjacks sticky and super sweet.
