MAKES 18
100g smooth almond or peanut butter 100g runny honey or golden syrup
2 tbsp coconut oil
50g ground almonds
200g jumbo oats
40g mixed seeds
pinch of salt
1 egg white
90g dried strawberries, roughly chopped
Yoghurt Coating
50g white chocolate
1½ tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp natural yoghurt
1 tsp lemon juice
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/l80°C fan. Line a 23cm square cake tin with baking paper.
- Melt the almond or peanut butter, honey or golden syrup and coconut oil together in a saucepan over a low heat until smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the almonds, oats, seeds and salt. Finally, stir in the egg white and dried strawberries.
- Tip the mixture into the prepared tin and press out into an even layer. Bake for 5 minutes until set around the edges but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and cut into 18 bars with a sharp knife, then allow to cool completely.
- To make the yoghurt coating, place the white chocolate and coconut oil in a small, heatproof bowl set over a small pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted, then remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Mix in the yoghurt and lemon juice until smooth. Pour the mixture into a sandwich bag and snip off the corner to make a piping bag.
- Drizzle the coating over the flapjack bars and leave to set. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
