Week 5 of my diet brings these Oaty delights, along with the fact I had some gorgeous fat black cherries from M&S that I wanted to bake with.
These are really delicious, please don’t expect them to be sticky like a regular flapjack (they won't be as the sugar and fat content is almost non existent) but the outer edges are crisp and the centres are soft and squidgy.
They are fab served with a dollop of fat free Greek yogurt and some berries for breakfast or pudding (you can also warm for 30 seconds in the micro) or just as they are.
200g oats
