A vegan flapjacks recipe is a great easy bake recipe to make with kids, and an easy way to get everyone in the family to eat a little more omega 3 with the right chosen add ins.
Preheat the oven to 160C°/325°F/gas mark 3. Grease a square cake tin and line with greaseproof paper.
Mix together the oats, flour, nuts, fruit and seeds in a large bowl.
Place the vegan butter, golden syrup and brown sugar in a pan over a low heat. Heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth.
Pour the syrup into the oats and stir until thoroughly combined, there should be no dry patches at all.
Tip the mixture into the prepared tin, spread it out level and press down firmly until well compacted.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until set and golden (they will still be a little soft to the touch and will firm up a lot as they cool).
Leave to cool for 10 minutes then cut into slices with a sharp knife while still in the tin. Leave to cool completely then turn out and re-slice. Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days. Makes 8 large flapjacks or 16 bite sized squares.
