Traditional flapjacks use syrup and butter in high amounts.

Why this swap matters

Using dates, flax, chia, pumpkin and sunflower seeds increases fiber and reduces added sugar.

The swap

Swap syrup heavy flapjacks for date and seed versions.

Recipe
1 cup oats
Half cup chopped dates
1 tablespoon flax
1 tablespoon chia
2 tablespoons nut butter
2 tablespoons pumpkin and sunflower seeds

Press into a tin and bake 15 to 18 minutes at 180C.

Notice how satisfied you feel after one square.
