to want to make my DCs flapjacks, but don't want to rot their precious teeth.....

....with all that sugar and syrup. Anyone got a delicious recipe that's not too heavy on the sugary stuff? I've tried a few 'healthy' recipes but they're so heavy on the oats that my DCs won't eat them.

Am IBU to want delicious goodness without the enormous sugar hit? My DCs do a lot of sporty stuff and flapjacks would be ideal for them to take with them, but I don't want to just spend hours of my precious time just to give them tooth rotting rubbish.

Fruit is bad for teeth too. Sugar is demonised too much I think. I would much rather my daughter had sugar than horrible artificial sweeteners.

Just resurrecting this thread to thank Soup for teaching me the true way of flapjackyness. Just made a batch nommmm 🤤

Melt almond butter into the honey before mixing with oats - and chia and flax seeds. But the almond butter is high in protein so good for sporting days!
