Vegan Apple Cinnamon Flapjacks - a simple healthy on-the-go breakfast or morning snack. Made with just 10 ingredients in the food processor. 

Vegan Apple Cinnamon FlapjacksIt's time for a vegan remake!

I love to prove that any recipe can be made vegan with just a few simple swaps and it will still taste amazing. So, when I saw this recipe for flapjacks from House & Garden, I set out to make a vegan version that's equally delicious. With just a few adjustments, these Vegan Apple Cinnamon Flapjacks were baked up to golden perfection and totally hit the spot. Absolutely scrummy! to quote the queen of British baking, Mary Berry.

Vegan Apple Cinnamon FlapjacksFor those of us in North America, the word flapjacks conjures up images of golden, fluffy stacks of pancakes cooked on a hot griddle and drizzled with maple syrup. In the UK, however, flapjacks are actually a baked oat bar often served with honey. Both are of course delicious, but today we're going with the baked British flapjack.

Vegan Apple Cinnamon FlapjacksWhile there seems to be some variation in how flapjacks are made, there are a few things consistent among all recipes - oats, butter and golden syrup and/or brown sugar. Some recipes use no flour resulting in a chewy, dense almost cookie like bar while others have flour producing a softer, more cake like texture. This recipe is the later and also incorporates apples for an added boost in flavor and nutrition. Be sure to use apples you would eat for best flavor.

The changes I made are swapping the self rising flour for whole wheat for more nutrition, which makes it necessary to add baking powder for proper rise. The eggs are also omitted obviously and replaced with ground chia seeds. Ground flax seeds would work as well. And because apples and cinnamon are the perfect match, I also added a bit of this as well. I used walnuts because that's what I had on hand, but you can use pecans as the original recipe calls for or omit the nuts entirely.

Vegan Apple Cinnamon FlapjacksThis is a pretty simple, straight forward recipe only requiring a food processor. Just be sure to follow the order the ingredients are added and you won't have any trouble. From there, it's just transferring the mixture to a pan and popping it in the oven for roughly 25 minutes until golden brown. Simple.

The family loves these and we've been enjoying them as an afternoon snack. They're also healthy enough to enjoy as an on the go breakfast or mid morning snack too.
