No bake flapjacks are easy to make and delicious. Why not try out our coconut and chocolate no bake flapjack recipe? Great with a cuppa!
No bake flapjacks can be a real joy to make! The simplicity of assembling it and just popping it in the fridge makes it a really easy flapjack recipe. No need to even turn the oven on!
We really enjoy these no cook flapjacks as they are, but you can add a spoon of honey or treacle to the mix if you fancy a bit more sweetness. The combination of peanuts and chocolate is a classic. And we love the patterns the chocolate makes on top of these oat flapjacks. It makes them visually appealing as well as delicious!
And better still, it is the perfect recipe for baking with the kids too - they particularly love adorning the top with the melted chocolate. That bit can get quite messy though!
Is this flapjack recipe healthy?
These are relatively low sugar flapjacks (the only added sugar will be in the chocolate), so we can consider them to be healthier than most flapjacks, which are traditionally contain more sugar.
These flapjacks also contain peanut butter, which is a good source of protein. Choose a smooth or crunchy peanut butter for this recipe, depending on which consistency you prefer. Check out our range of nut butters, and perhaps try a different type in your flapjack recipe.
Oats are a source of protein too, and bring a host of other health benefits. They are full of nutrients. They take longer to break down in your body than a simple carbohydrate, such as sugar and this means that the glucose within the oats enter your body more slowly, releasing the energy over a longer period. Oats are a great food to help sustain you, so they make the perfect breakfast, to get you through the morning until lunch. Find out more about the benefits of oats.
Coconut is very nutritious and rich in minerals, especially manganese, which is a mineral that supports our energy-yielding metabolism and the maintenance of normal bones.1
