About

This recipe is a tasty and effective twist on traditional flapjacks. It uses quinoa flakes, which are firmer and more substantial than rolled oats, but still have a delicious gooey sweetness when cooked. These flapjacks are full of slow-release carbohydrates, and so are great for mid-morning snacks and in children’s lunch boxes.
