Gooey and yummy Spelt Banoffee Flapjacks with Dark Chocolate are healthier than your average flapjack!

Today I’m sharing my Spelt Banoffee Flapjacks with Dark Chocolate with you!

It was my mother’s birthday last week and one of the home baked treats we had was a lovely chocolate flapjack. I came away with the recipe (it was one from her head) and decided to give it a makeover. I was toying with adding apple but on seeing a very ripe small banana in the bowl decided it might be perfect for a Banoffee flavour and seeing some Organic Spelt Porridge Oats in the cupboard I decided to use those too.

Well the result was a very healthy(ish), gooey and tasty flapjack! The spelt porridge flakes have a lovely grainy texture and are packed with fibre and minerals that that you don’t get with ordinary porridge oats. Dark chocolate is also good for you and contains iron and bananas are packed with potassium so all in all I think these flapjacks are a very virtuous treat.

My son is studying for his GCSEs at the moment and I keep stressing to him how good bananas are for you and particularly for the brain and memory.

My Spelt Banoffee Flapjacks with Dark Chocolate didn’t last long here as everyone had a couple of slices after dinner the other night. I also think they would be a great treat for putting in your kid’s lunch boxes or even to take on a picnic.

What’s your favourite flapjack flavour? Here are a few ideas from fellow bloggers:

As these flapjacks were made with an over ripe banana and some out of date Spelt Porridge Flakes (shh don’t tell the family) I’m entering them into Credit Crunch Munch which I run with Fuss Free Flavours and is being hosted by Bakingqueen74 this month. I’m also entering Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary’s No Waste Food Challenge.
