Using these ingredients you’ll already have in the store cupboard.
And these 5 Ingredient Chocolate Flapjacks couldn’t be easier to make.
Simply mash your ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl.
Add your other 4 ingredients and mix until well combined.
I am using gluten-free rolled oats but you could use porridge oats too.
Don’t have all these ingredients, here are a few swaps for you:
Maple Syrup – swap for honey or agave syrup.
Gluten Free Rolled Oats – Use porridge oats instead or non gluten free if ok for you.
Cacao powder – leave it out and just use chocolate chips.
Chocolate – just leave it out.
If you have kids, this recipe is perfect for them to get stuck in and bake something delicious.
They will totally love making the mix and eating them at the end of course!
Once you have formed your homemade flapjack mixture simply push into a lined square baking tin. I use this 9×9 baking tin
SO IF YOU TRY THESE CHOCOLATE FLAPJACKS LET ME KNOW!
Once baked they come out the oven smelling incredible.
You will want to dig in straight away of course but you NEED to let it cool for 10 minutes outside of the baking tin.
This helps the flapjacks to firm up a little and helps with slicing into squares.
You will still get to eat them nice and warm which is how I prefer them.
You can also freeze these to have on another day.
Simply bake and then make sure they are cold. Cut them into squares and place into Tupperware suitable for freezing.
Defrost naturally or microwave to defrost for on the go.
