Non sugar, Non flour flapjack

It's not that I'm particularly watching my waist line and I love my sweet sugary cakes too much to give them up, but sometimes I fancy a healthier snack. And today was one of those days.

I decided to make oats cookie without sugar and flour. However, it came out as a flapjack... Oh well, it tasted great and so addictive that
I kept going back for more and it was gone before tea time...;D

As a sweetener I used date syrup and added dried prune and raisin to give it more natural sweetness. Knowing the amount of margarine added into the recipe, I'm not quite sure if I can call it a "healthy snack", but at least there is no sugar in it and it has oats and prune that are a good source of fiber.

I guess this flapjack works with other dried fruits too. I'm going to try apricot or blueberry next time;)

ingredients:

Oats 150g

Corn starch 30g

Margarine 100g

Date syrup 5 tbsp

Raisin 100g

Dried prune (chopped) 100g

1. Preheat the oven to 180ºc. Cream margarine and date syrup together.

2. Mix  oats and corn starch into 1.

3. Mix raisin and prune into 2.

4. Spread the mixture on a baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven (180ºc) for 10 minutes. When the flapjack is cooled , cut it into the size you like.
