Gooooooood morning! 

A flapjack loaf?! Yes I know, I know. It’s really just a giant biscuit in the shape of a loaf. This is the type of thing that goes on in my brain šŸ™‚

Flapjack LoafBut I think you’d really enjoy it! It’s dense, nutty, satisfying and naturally sweetened with raisins and cinnamon, which go so well with the warming flavour of toasted hazelnuts. It’s the perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea, as a lunchbox treat or as a post-workout energy booster.

Flapjack LoafFree from refined sugar, gluten and dairy, it shouldn’t cause problems for sensitive digestion like commercial baked treats can sometimes do. And thanks to its high levels of dietary fibre, it will keep blood sugar levels stable and that means you’ll be far less likely to reach for that 3pm latte and chocolate bar.

Flapjack LoafThis loaf is based on oats and brown rice flour, with ingredients like coconut flakes and flaxseed added for extra yumminess and crunch! It becomes really crispy on the outside once baked, and was delicious eaten in warm slices straight from the oven. 

Feel free to add whatever other ingredients you have on hand – dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds or pecans would be amazing in it too.

Dry Ingredients
  1. 195g (1.4 cups) gluten-free oats

  4. 20g (1/4 cup) unsweetened desiccated coconut
  5. 72g (1/2 cup) raisins

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients well.
  3. Pour in the melted coconut oil and maple syrup, then slowly add in the almond milk. Stir as you pour, to ensure the mixture doesn't become too wet. It should feel like a thick dough.
  4. Transfer the dough to the greased loaf tin and ensure it's smooth and even.
