Flapjack Fiesta FAQs: Your Guide to Guilt-Free Bliss!

Dreaming of that perfect flapjack experience without the sugar guilt? We've got you covered! But before you preheat your oven, here are some common questions answered:

Q: Can I use different nuts or dried fruits?

Absolutely! Experiment with different nut and dried fruit combinations to find your perfect flavour blend. Chopped almonds, pistachios, or even seeds like sunflower seeds can add a delightful crunch. For fruits, try dried cherries, apricots, or even chopped dates for a chewy twist.

Q: I don't have coconut oil, can I use something else?

Melted butter or olive oil can work as substitutes, but they might slightly alter the flavour and texture. Coconut oil adds a subtle coconutty taste that complements the dark chocolate nicely.

Q: My flapjack seems too dry. What do I do?

If your mixture feels dry after combining the wet and dry ingredients, add a tablespoon of melted coconut oil or honey (or maple syrup) at a time until it reaches a manageable consistency.

Q: How can I store my flapjacks?

Store your flapjacks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They're perfect for a quick, guilt-free snack on the go!
