If there’s one thing my children love it’s snacks! No matter how much they’ve eaten for their main meals they still ask for a snack several times a day. And now they’re back at school they’re hungrier than ever in the afternoon.
This month I’ve teamed up with Zanussi to share five recipes to make the back-to-school period a little easier; including these tasty Peanut Butter Flapjacks.
Feeding kids the right afternoon snack can be tricky. You want something that is going to satisfy their hunger and fill them up, but not too much as you still want them to have an appetite for dinner a couple of hours later! This recipe ticks all those boxes. It’s packed full of nutritious and filling ingredients like oats, peanut butter and seeds, just enough to fill their little bellies until tea time!
These flapjacks are really easy to make. Other than melting the peanut butter, coconut oil and honey together there is no cooking involved. The flapjacks will firm up in the freezer and can then be kept for several days in the fridge.
Recipe Substitutions:
1. The coconut oil can be substituted for unsalted butter.
2. I use peanut butter in my recipe but feel free to use another nut butter if you prefer.
3. The honey can be substituted to maple syrup or another liquid sweetener like date syrup.
4. If you want to make the flapjacks even more enticing to kids you could add some chocolate chips or a drizzle of melted chocolate on top.

I shared these flapjacks in a Facebook Live over on the Zanussi Facebook Page . There’s still time to enter the competition to win one of two Zanussi Electric Ovens. The competition is open until 23:59 on 3rd October 2018 and the terms and conditions are here!
Disclosure: I have been compensated for my time spent working on this campaign with Zanussi but as always all thoughts and opinions are honest and are my own.
