| Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Flapjacks |
Last night my mum and I watched the third episode of this years Great British Bake Off and since then she has been dropping hints about how I should do some baking - that's if you call "I really fancy some cake and a cup of tea" a hint. Anyway I went into the kitchen, got whatever things I had that I could make a sweet treat from, managed to make a salted caramel peanut butter sauce from the last of the dates, peanut butter and soy milk and then mixed in some oats before baking and the result was sweet, salty and chewy flapjack bites that contain only 6 ingredients and are the perfect snack food for packed lunches or picnics!

These really are so simple to make, taking only 20 minutes from start to finish with no speciality ingredients or refined sugar. I brushed the top of the flapjacks with a little vegan sunflower spread before baking for the taste but also to ensure that they did not dry out whilst in the oven and stayed deliciously chewy inside! If using salted peanut butter then you won't need to add any extra salt, but if not then add around 1/4 tsp. I've also added a link for the printer friendly version of this recipe, should you want it!
