Everyone loves a flapjack! However, with butter, sugar and golden syrup as key ingredients, most standard flapjack recipes aren’t very weight loss-friendly. At Slimming World, we want our members to be able to enjoy all their favourite foods, so we made it our mission to create a healthy flapjack recipe that won’t put you in a slimming sticky spot!
You can have our fruity healthy flapjacks as a snack, sweet treat or for breakfast. And they’re a great bite to take out and about with you – so you don’t get caught short when you feel snackish! What are you waiting for?!
