    Both of my children take after their Dad and have a really sweet tooth. (I’m more of the savoury kind).

    They absolutely love flapjacks, but nearly all of the shop bought ones contain milk so I set about coming up with a recipe for homemade ones.

    There is no getting away from the fact that these contain sugar. I messed around with recipes for sugar free ones, swapping the sugar for banana etc.. but this recipe was definitely their favourite… surprise!!

    Eaten in moderation and as a treat they are fine, especially as you know exactly what has gone into them and they are not packed full of preservatives.

    How Can I Stop The Dairy Free Cranberry & Coconut Flapjacks Falling Apart?

    Firstly make sure you pack the mixture in really tightly in the baking tin and push down with the back of a spatula. 

    Once the flapjacks are cooked and have been removed from the oven, give them a couple of minutes to cool slightly, then slice, but leave them in the tin and don’t try to separate them or remove them from the tin until they are completely cool.
