Flapjacks

Flapjack Bars

Flapjack is a baked oatmeal bar originally from the UK. The original recipe consists of oats, butter, cane sugar and golden syrup. This sweet treat is often served with coffee or tea.

Modern versions of flapjack bars contain alternatives to conventional sugar, better quality fat sources, nuts, seeds, pieces of dried fruit or chocolate. The texture of the bars is usually soft and smooth, but you can also find drier and crispier flapjacks that are closer to classic muesli bars.

Flapjacks are high in calories, rich in carbohydrates, but also in fibre, which satiates and supports digestion. Flapjacks are ideal whenever you need to replenish energy. They are a suitable pre‑workout meal and are great for replenishing energy during longer physical activity. They also work well as a snack, but for a longer satiation period it is advisable to supplement them with protein - yoghurt, protein shake or kefir.
