Enjoy these tasty gluten free oat flapjacks! They make a great healthy snack or a quick breakfast! Having discovered recently that I can eat oats if they are gluten-free without having a reaction, I’m thrilled to be able to make this vegan version of these tasty flapjacks that I used to make years ago, replacing the butter with coconut oil.
Makes 9
Ingredients
100g Dates
100ml Filtered water
100g Coconut Oil
1tbsp Ground flaxseed
2tbsp Agave nectar
50g Almonds
50g Pumpkin seeds
200g Gluten free oat flakes
Instructions
Soak the almonds and pumpkin seeds overnight.
Preheat the oven to 180C.
Chop the dates and add to a pan with the water. Simmer until the dates are soft.
Now add the coconut oil and allow to melt. Add the agave nectar and mix in.
Chop the almonds and add to the pan with the whole pumpkin seed. Mix well.
Finally pour in the oat flakes and mix thoroughly.
Pour the mixture into a square baking tray and press down firmly with a wooden spoon.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
Remove and leave to cool. Now cut into 9 pieces.
Store in a cool, dry place and eat within a week.

These look great. I cannot eat almonds, what do you recommend as a substitute? I have plenty of walnuts and pecans in the fridge I could try, but I would love your opinion!
Thanks! I would recommend walnuts. I’m sure pecans would go well also. Thanks for asking my opinion! I hope they turn out well!
Walnuts it is, brain food!
Very nice Flapjacks. I liked them a lot. Just added ground cinnamon to the oats, came out delicious. Probably the nicest Flapjacks ever made. Thanks for sharing Kate.
Thank you for your comment Seema! It means a lot! I really like these flapjacks too and make them regularly. The cinnamon sounds like a nice addition to the flapjacks! Will have to try it!
