Greetings fellow travellers,
Last week I had a break from work. I had some holidays to use and since I couldn’t afford to go anywhere I stayed home. Most of the week the weather was nice, but on the day where it rained incessantly, I decided to turn my hand to some vegan baking.
This flapjack is based on a traditional Quirky Mum recipe that I have played about with and added a few goodies to. It contains raisins (chewy and nice and high in iron) and omega 3 and 6 thanks to the addition of the yummy seeds. It’s not exactly slimming due to the syrup and sugar, but I have played about with using as little as possible.
Ingredients:
100g/4oz dairy-free margarine
75g/3oz demerara sugar
3 tbsp golden syrup
50g/2oz omega seed mix (mix of pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame seeds)
75g/3oz raisins
200g/8oz porridge oats
In a large pan, melt together the margarine, sugar and syrup. Remove from heat. Stir in the dry ingredients. Press mix into shallow, greased tray and cook for 15-20 minutes at 180C/350F.
Remove from the oven, leave to cool and mark into squares.
Ideal served with a nice cup of tea or coffee.
