Festive Flapjacks

I had a full on Christmassy weekend, baking mince pies, Christmas shopping, wrapping presents, seeing family. In the spirit of being frugal, I got to thinking how can I use up my leftover mincemeat? This recipe is the result –

These festive flapjacks are so ridiculously good, you will not believe! They are Gluten free, Dairy free and can easily be made Vegan.

Ingredients

6 Oz Oats (Gluten free)

1 very ripe banana

3 Oz Coconut oil

2-3 tablespoons of mincemeat from a jar (without suet to make vegan)

1 tablespoon Chia seed

1 teaspoon of Cinnamon

Grated nutmeg to taste

Zest of half an orange

Pinch of salt

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees fan.

2. Peel and mash up the banana and add the melted coconut oil, mincemeat, spices, salt and orange zest.

1. Next add the oats and Chia seed. Mix.

2. Line a shallow baking or cake tin with some coconut oil and two strips of grease-proof paper in a cross.

1. Scoop the mixture into the tin and spread evenly.

1. Put in the oven and leave to bake for about 20 minutes.

2. Remove from oven and leave to stand for at least 30 minutes before removing from the tin.

1. Cut into slices before the flapjack is fully cooled and enjoy once set firm.

This recipe can also be used for breakfast. Crumble up the flapjack once cool and sprinkle on yoghurt or have in a bowl with milk.

Happy Christmas!
