FAO: AllyDrew & other BLW's (dairy free/sugar free flapjack receipe)

Just wanted to bounce this as I made them yesterday & Harry had one for his breakfast this morning. It went down very well

Hi love

I made these flapjacks for Harry this afternoon & they are yummy

As I was munching one of them, I thought of you & Milly and your allergy woes. Anyway, IIRC Milly is "ok" with bananas? In this case, this receipe is just made for you both.

Banana & Date Flapjacks

2-3 small bananas

1 cup chopped dates

2 cups oats

1/3 cup veg oil (I used unsalted butter, but that's because I only had olive oil in the house - in flapjacks I think that'd taste yuk )

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

Mash banana. Add in dates & oil and mix well. Stir in oats & vanilla. Leave for 5-10 minutes for the oats to soak in the oil. Put in well greased baking tray (mine measured about 30cm by 20cms). Cook on Gas Mark 4/160 degrees for 25 minutes.

They really are yummy. Do you think Milly would be ok with all of these ingredients? She can have some directly (I made them initially for Harry, but will definitely be making them again for a healthy snack for me too!) & you can also eat them too - as we all know oats are fab for your milk

Anyway, hope things are ok with you & Milly.

Big cuddles from Harry & I

Oh bless you CL, that's so nice of you to think of me!

Pretty sure Milly will be ok with the ingredients. Not tried her with dates yet. but if she reacts to them I'll just have to eat 'em all myself.

thanks again

No worries

Just bouncing this up for other mum's who fancy making it for their LO's

Harry really enjoyed it this morning

Sound yum! What I want to know is, is anyone going to bring some of these on Friday?! (looks meaningfully at Ally) lol

Ooh, I'm liking the sound of these - I bet Megan would adore them. Thanks for posting.

oo you star, i was going to make these this weekend but couldn't find the post !

Ooh they sound lovely ClareyLou Will definitely be baking them soon xx

Am really glad people like these!

I actually made two lots of different flapjacks on the same day; these & "Zesty Flapjacks" by HFW and, I have to say, I prefer these ones - which is brilliant for my waistline Harry is actually eating one as I type - and it's going down very well

Will try them with raisins next time as they sound yum....

xx

mmm just made these..im not a big cake fan but they're fab x looking forward to the children trying them out too...and sorted hubby's breakfasts for the week

Thanks for the recipe ClareyLou, they are in the oven as we speak and they smell devine its going to be v.hard to not eat the whole lot I had to use raisins as I didn't have any dates. Any other yummy recipes you may have please post xx

Thanks HB & beauty

Glad you liked them

Beauty - did you want child-friendly recipes? I seem to be doing mostly them recently Have used a few from the BLW forum and some from the Annabel Karmel book - they've (mostly) been fab. Especially the Savoury Flapjacks & Chicken & Apple Balls. I also did a sugar-free rice pudding (adapted from AK) that turned out surprisingly yummy.

Let me know if you fancy any of these & I can post them up

Ooh yes please CL, would be interested in the Savoury Flapjacks and sugar-free rice pudding, but I think I had better confess that Phoebe is well passed the BLW stage but still use some of the recipes on her . Thanks soo much CL you are a lovely hitcher indeedy xx
