Are you a Flapjack lover? Then you must be knowing that Flapjacks are an excellent way to integrate fresh raspberries into a baked good. The recipe of these healthy raspberry flapjacks are so simple to make that the entire family, including small bakers, can participate and enjoy!
It’s a special treat dedicated to a very special boy – my godson Orlin, but I’m sure you and your kids will like it too. His birthday is coming soon, and thinking of him I was browsing in search of a flavorful and healthy sweet treat.
The thing is my godson and his family live thousands of miles away and I only see them couple of times a year. Who knows when I’ll see them again but it’ll definitely be after the birthday party. So preparing a nicely decorated layered cake doesn’t seem to be a possibility.
Therefore I needed something that’s kid’s friendly, delicious, with a minimum of artificial additives and refined sugars, plus one that his mom will be happy with, too. So, nothing came to my mind other than healthy raspberry flapjacks.
I stumbled upon these traditional flapjacks, and never mind they are not really a dessert (but more of an afternoon snack or a breakfast item), they sounded like “the right thing”. I’ve never had flapjacks before (here I use the British meaning, and I’m not talking about pancakes), but this didn’t stop me from trying to bake healthy raspberry flapjacks myself. As we both liked very much these chewy bites, I hope my godson and his friends will love the crumbly texture with the surprisingly fresh presence of the fresh raspberries.
I’ve halved the original recipe quantities, cut the butter down a bit, but there are some things I’ll add the next time I’ll bake these – like one or two more tbsp honey (or golden syrup) and will definitely double the quantity of raspberries. There are lots of variations that can be made with this healthy raspberry flapjacks recipe, like adding some raisins or other dried fruits, chopped nuts or seeds.
A Healthy Raspberry Flapjacks are not just a dream anymore. Just try it and give yourself a healthy treat!
