When you look beyond the oats to the butter, sugar and syrup, flapjacks start to be a less ideal option. But they're so delicious we wouldn't want you to miss out. That's why we've made a healthier flapjack recipe for you to enjoy.
1 Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan 170°C/gas 5. Grease and line a shallow 17.5cm square tin with baking paper. Put the dates and apple juice in a food processor and whiz until smooth.
2 Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a low heat. Take the pan off the heat, then stir in the date purée with the remaining ingredients to combine. Press the mixture into the prepared tin with damp hands, then bake for 20–25 min until just golden.
3 Remove and set aside to cool for 10 min. Cut into squares while still warm in the tin, then leave to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

What could you swap out the apricots with?
Hi there
Great question! Most dried fruit would work. Feel free to experiment with options you like. Papaya might be nice.

Being low FODMAP and apples are out, what can be used in place of apple juice please?
Hi Nicole
Thanks for your question. You should be fine using orange or grape juice instead. I think orange would go best.
