The 2019 GBBO winner starts his fortnightly column with date-based flapjacks to give you an energy boost

Flapjacks used to be my go-to for a sugar hit when doing exercise, but the butter and syrup used traditionally can leave you feeling cheated out of the hard work you are putting in. This recipe tastes decadent, but uses whizzed dates, prune juice and oil to create an emulsion that binds the mix without syrup or eggs. The soft texture makes the flapjacks easy to eat on the run and, as well as giving you an energy hit, the dates are full of fibre, potassium, magnesium and zinc.

I don't want healthy flapjacks. I want my flapjacks full of butter and golden syrup.

Yuk!

Not fussed about so called 'healthier' this is the best recipe I add 100g medjool or ajwa dates. Ajwa are expensive but so much nicer

I love flapjacks! I'd just swap the rapeseed oil for something saturated like coconut oil to stop the fatty acids being damaged from the heat

These sound super! Will try soon♡♧♡
