Ingredients
- 50g dried apricots
50g dried mango
100g pumpkin seeds
50g desiccated coconut
70g chia seeds
100g walnuts
100g pitted dates
50g goji berries
1 tsp vanilla extract
70g coconut oil
200g 70% dark chocolate
Method
- Finely chop the dried apricot and mango. Put them into your food processor with the pumpkin seeds, desiccated coconut, goji berries, chia seeds, walnuts, dates and vanilla extract and pulse until the nuts and seeds are well broken up but still have some texture to them. Pour the mixture into a large bowl.
Melt the coconut oil and add to the mixture, stirring well.
Now melt the chocolate in a bowl over boiling water and add to the mixture stirring vigorously so that it is well mixed through before it hardens.
Line a flapjack tray with baking parchment and spread the mixture evenly.
Put into the fridge and leave for at least 20 minutes to set. Once well cooled, chop into 4 by 4 pieces to make 16 flapjack bars. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
