Banana Oat Protein Flapjack

This oat & banana flapjack with a ginger kick is my perfect snack. It’s filling, nutritious, and the spice from the ginger makes me feel alive. Another thing I love about recipes such as these are they are very customisable with regards to quantity and flavours (try adding cinnamon, nutmeg & cardamom for some chai spice vibes!) This flapjack is perfect for pulling me out of a 3pm slump, or to feel fuelled before or after a workout.

Snacks are imperative to a healthy diet. The fact of the matter is, a nutritious diet IS NOT boring. It should contain satiating & delicious meals throughout the day that allow us to eat a variety of plant foods which in turn, provide us with our required macro & micro-nutrients.

Snacks, while feeling like a bit of treat, simply add to this. They can possess a specific role, such as serving as a pre-workout snack, and they allow us to diversify even further with more plant foods that may not be a part of our regular meals – GUT HEALTH Y’ALL!

Enjoy the recipe below, and click here to watch me make it!

Ingredients:

  • 400g ripe bananas (approx 3-4 bananas)
  • 400mL plant milk (JUST shy of 2 cups – I used soy milk)
  • 300g oat flour
  • 60g rolled oats
  • 60g plant protein powder – I use Amazonia Raw vanilla protein
  • 150g mixed raw nuts (crushed)
  • 200g crystallised ginger
  • ~15g baking powder

Pre-Preperation:

  • Oat flour – place 300g oats into a blender (I use Vitamix) and blend at high speed for 30-45secs
  • Crushed nuts – place all nuts into a blender and pulse 5-8 times
  • Crystallised ginger – roughly chop into smaller chunks/desired size for your flapjacks

Method:

  1. Mash bananas then combine with plant milk
  2. Add in oat flour and combine until thick 
  3. Add all remaining ingredients (nuts, ginger, rolled oats and baking powder) and stir through
  4. Pour mixture evenly into a non-stick over dish
  5. Bake at approx 170deg for 20-25 mins (top should be golden brown with only slight residue on skewer)
  6. Allow to sit for 10-15mins
  7. Divide into portions, eat, and send me a thank you message
