Mango and Blueberry Flapjacks
Flapjacks are a great way for children to get fibre and a range of nutrients. This recipe contains over six different plant-based ingredients and is much lower in sugar than shop-bought options, thanks to the natural sweetness of mango and fresh orange juice. These are perfect as a snack at home or on the go, or add a dollop of yoghurt and side of fruit for an easy breakfast (you can even warm them up).
Suitable from: 1+ year of age
Free from: Milk, Eggs, Nuts, Soya
Easy to adapt to: Gluten-free (use gluten free oats and buckwheat flour)
