Instant Grub : Flapjacks

It has been fairly long since the last time I posted and I could use the excuse of being caught up in my first job but even then, not a good enough reason to have such a delayed post. So to make up for the lack of content, I bring to you one of my favourite breakfast recipes. It's oil-free, sugar-free and really easy to make. It's entirely vegan and full of goodness. Here I present my breakfast recipe for possibly the healthiest ever, FLAPJACKS.

Healthy Vegan Flapjacks 

  Flapjacks are possibly the most convenient, filling and healthy breakfast option out there. It takes 40 minutes to prepare on a weekend and you can store them for the rest of the week in freezer bags, take them out of the freezer, thaw, re-heat as necessary and enjoy yourself a filling breakfast. With that said, nothing tastes better than warm flapjacks right out of the oven (cooled appropriately to prevent blistering your tongue) so I would still recommend making smaller batches and having them fresh rather than storing them for too long. When I made this batch, it was my first meal after my detox, on the morning of my flight to India. I prepared 2 trays of these for the entire family to have as breakfast, and in the flight if anyone got a little peckish along the way. I might have overestimated our appetites because I ended up having these for lunch as well, not that I minded at all. Just a slight heads-up though, for those who like their flapjacks to be crunchier, these are more cake-y in texture due to the absence of oils which would otherwise give them the extra crunch. However, the nuts and seeds seem to perfectly compensate that for me. Keep scrolling to see photos of the ingredients and the recipe.
