Today I’m going to be completely honest with you. The other day I was watching Jamie Oliver bake his son Buddy’s Biscuit Flapjacks on Facebook. It looked so good but it was sadly full of gluten and dairy. These are two ingredients which unfortunately don’t agree with me.
So I decided to bake my own version of this recipe. Sorry Mr Oliver for posting it to my blog. From what I have read on Jamie’s website he is not a fan of people ‘copying’ his work but I couldn’t let this one go. It looked too tasty for me to miss and I have used my own ingredients too. So it’s clearly my recipe now.
If he ever does read this post (ha, ha), I think he should forgive me as I’m gluten and dairy intolerant. Plus we love a good treat recipe in our house and this is one I’m pleased we did bake. So I just had to share it with you. If you’re like me or if you’re not, this is still a yummy treat the whole family can enjoy. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Biscuit Flapjacks were very well received by my husband Howard. Although my son Ted was not the biggest fan. Normally I hide the healthy ingredients so he doesn’t know they are in there. So if you have a fussy eater please feel feel to grind the nuts and seeds before you add them to the flapjack. Remember though, shhh, don’t tell Jamie. However you decide to eat this flapjack, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
