Banana Flapjacks

Laura.UK's Note:

These are fantastic for breakfast or as an anytime snack. They're very easy to make and taste equally good without the hazelnuts and cinnamon. As I'm from the UK, all measurements are metric so you will need a scale to make them. Enjoy!

Excellent recipe-just what I was looking for in an attempt to cut down on wheat-based snacks. The flapjacks have a more cake-y texture than normal ones and didn't sit in my stomach like a brick. Nice one Laura.UK.
