If you're looking to make a healthy snack that is loaded with protein & healthy fats, look no further. These Homemade Oat Flapjacks make a perfect snack for any time of the day. The Flapjack, which originated in England, is traditionally a soft and chewy bar made with rolled oats, golden syrup, dried fruit, and nuts. This is, of course, served with a hot cup of tea. It's not to be confused with the American version of a flapjack, a flatter version of a pancake. 

For this nutritious and delicious snack, we used a mixture of oats and bananas to help create a chewy bar. We also used almond butter, agave, coconut oil, pumpkin spice, almonds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, blueberries & cherries. With 3.8 grams of protein, it will make a great pre-workout or post-workout snack, midday pick-me-up, or a quick grab-and-go to take with you while running errands. Another fusion recipe for oats is Banana Oatmeal Smoothie.
