Seeded Carrot and Oat Flapjacks

August 13, 2012 2 Comments

I had a request recently on a wls forum for a bariatric-friendly flapjack recipe. It wasn’t something I had to hand and did seriously wonder whether it was possible to make a reasonably low fat and low sugar version. I’m glad to report that my first atttempt was a great success! I replaced the usual butter or margarine for low-fat spread or light butter; golden syrup with agave nectar (or syrup); and sugar with sweetener and grated carrots. The result is a very moreish mouthful. A little crumblier than a traditional flapjack it would also be fantastic lightly crushed and sprinkled over fat-free thick Greek yogurt.

 

Agave nectar is available from many supermarkets and health food stores. I bought mine from Sainsburys.

 

These will keep in a tin for 3-4 days…if they last that long!

    Do I have to use agave syrup?

    Hi Sarah, No you can use any other kind of liquid type sweetener of a similar type – Sweet Freedom is also good or you could look at honey or your own favourite low-calorie or artifical one – you may have to tinker with the amount though since the sweetening power differs between them all. Hope this helps. C x
