Loaded with nutrients and flavour, these sugar-free banana and date flapjacks make a healthy and low-calorie breakfast treat or snack on-the-go.

While the classic recipe includes loads of butter and sugar, we have used only mashed bananas and blended dates to give these vegan flapjacks a chewy texture and a sweet and rich taste while keeping both sugars and fats low.

In fact, as these flapjacks are prepared without butter, they have ten times less saturated fats than the classic ones.

Moreover, the combination of oats, nuts, and seeds makes them higher in proteins and fibres, helping you to feel full for longer and curb cravings.

Nuts and seeds, especially walnuts and flaxseeds, provide healthy unsaturated fats, omega-3, and antioxidants essential for good health.

Tips

Depending on the quality of the dates you buy, they might be softer or harder. If you see they’re difficult to blend, just soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, drain, and then blitz.
Instead of hazelnuts and walnuts, you can use other nuts like brazil nuts and pecans.
Wet the parchment paper with water, squeeze it, and then use it to line the baking tray. This way, the paper will adhere better to the tin and you’ll have perfectly shaped flapjacks.
Store these healthy date flapjacks in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for one month.
