My Delicious Homemade Dairy Costless Banana Flapjack Recipe

It's 5pm today together with I fancy a snack...just a lilliputian something to nibble on. Now what tin I receive got that won't ruin my waistline but that is sweetness together with yummy?  A lilliputian chocolate bar sounds rather tempting I think!  But I desire to arrive build clean eating together with actually expert for me...how well-nigh a flapjack instead?  

There has been lots of hype well-nigh how unhealthy flapjacks tin live - sum of oil, saccharide together with hence calories.  Just because they comprise oats together with dried fruit doesn't necessarily brand them the best wellness nutrient option.  Some typical flapjacks flora inwards almost whatever Great Britain newsagents or supermarket have alarmingly high levels of calories together with obese - to a greater extent than then than merely a uncomplicated chocolate bar.
 
For example, Frusli "raisin together with hazelnut chewy cereal bar" contains 120 calories, 3.7g fat; Jordan's Crunchy Bar "honey together with almond" holds 134 calories, 5.0g obese and the Tracker Bar "Chocolate Chip Cereal Bar" is 126 calories, 6.2g fat!!  Can y'all believe that?! No wonder they are then sweetness together with delicious...they are sum of saccharide together with fat!! ;)

One of the reasons these bars are then calorific compared to your average chocolate bar is because flapjacks oft come upward inwards 100g bars, together with other chocolate bars are smaller at 60g.  So, anyway, tin y'all approximate where this story's leading?! Haha! Yes - I've invented my ain delicious, depression calorie together with depression obese alternative to these obese flapjacks.

Basically at that topographic point are ii hush-hush ingredients - the primary element is using ripe or overripe bananas.  These are groovy to mush upward alongside a fork together with shape every bit the terra firma of the flapjack.  The other hush-hush (or magical than rather than secret) element is almonds together with almond milk.  I piece of job a lighter, unsweetened almond milk choice to cutting downwards on the calories.

Almonds are sum of monounsaturated obese - i of the healthiest fats, together with their composition is 25% protein, containing enough of vitamin east together with no cholesterol. This agency they are a groovy wellness food, non forgetting how deliciously moreish they are.  They also have a depression glycaemic index value, (this agency their liberate energy boost they give lasts longer).

So hither is my flapjack recipe video recipe:
