When I first started this blog the “plant” in Plant. Eat. Repeat. was to do with planting, growing, raising food. And then I watched Cowspiracy, switched back to being vegetarian and tried to be as vegan as possible. Not the “plant” refers both to those that I grow, as well as the plant-based life I’m trying to have. The latter is easier than I thought.
I haven’t had a burger or an even a cup of tea in a while. And I’m not that bothered to be honest. But one thing that I’d like to be able to do, with this new found direction, is eating the comfort foods I used to eat, but sans animal. That’s why today on the blog there is a recipe for a flapjack.
Flapjacks are traditional biscuity, granola things, which I used to make with my mother when I was a kid. Granted, when I say make I mean I used to eat the mixture and the finished result in equal measures.
Vegan Flapjacks
Ingredients
80g coconut oil
125g rolled oats
125g brown sugar
35ml (around 3tbsp) of Golden Syrup
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a saucepan, over low heat, melt the coconut oil and stir in the brown sugar and Golden Syrup.
- Once the sugar has dissolved and the syrup combined, pour in the rolled oats and combine thoroughly.
- Spoon the mixture into a silicone muffin tin (it makes it super easy to remove the individual flapjacks), and bake in the oven for 20mins or until they are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, and leave to cool completely in the muffin tin, before turning out and scoffing the lot!
