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. Then I decided to use some Organic Spelt Porridge Oats in the cupboard 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 you don’t get with ordinary porridge oats. Dark chocolate is also good for you and contains iron and bananas packed with potassium, so I think these flapjacks are a very virtuous treat.

My son is currently studying for his GCSEs, and I keep stressing to him how good bananas are for you, 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.

These flapjacks would be a great treat to put in your kid’s lunch boxes or to take on a picnic.

    I really like this recipe. Where do you buy your Organic Spelt Porridge Oats from? Do you think that I could use coconut oil instead of butter? And maybe honey or maple syrup instead of sugar?

      Petra I was sent the Spelt Porridge Oats but I think you might be able to get them in Waitrose? I have never used coconut oil and have only ever seen recipes with a combination of sugar and golden syrup so wouldn’t like to say if you could use purely just syrup or honey – they are both a form of sugar anyway!

      Well like it says in this post often it’s a family recipe that I put my own twist on or sometimes I’ll want to use a glut of something I have or best of all I like being challenged to come up with a recipe using an ingredient I might otherwise not have thought to use:-) I won the school prize for Home-Economics and I’ve just loved cooking and creating since childhood (which was a very long time ago now LOL)!
