Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A lot of people skip breakfast and then get hunger pangs mid morning. I enjoy oats for breakfast, either made as overnight oats in the summer or hot porridge with fruits in the winter. I also love healthy snacks when I need breakfast on the go. These Fruit and Nut Flapjacks are the excellent choice.They contain no refined sugars and are gluten and dairy free and they are made with the finest organic fruit and nuts from the Indigo Herb company.

Fruit and Nut Flapjacks
Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 30 mins Total time: 40 mins
Gluten, dairy free and refined sugar free fruit and nut flapjacks that make the perfect breakfast or mid morning snack.
Ingredients:
Dry Ingredients:
2.5 cups Organic oats
1 cup Indigo Organic dried apricots and figs finely chopped.
1.5 cups mixed Indigo Organic nuts almonds, cashew nuts, walnuts coarsely chopped.
0.5 cup Indigo Organic coconut palm sugar.
2 teaspoons Indigo Organic Baobab powder.
1/3 cup sunflower oil.
1/2 cup almond milk.
1 teaspoon vanilla.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees C/ 300 degrees F
2. Line a square baking tray with parchment paper.
3. In a bowl add all the ingredients except the milk and mix together.
4. Stir in the almond milk a little at a time, until mixture binds together but don't make it too wet. (You may not need to use all the milk)
5. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking tray and tightly pack it down using the back of a spoon. This is important as it will ensure when you cut the flapjacks they don't fall apart.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes at 150 degrees C and another 10 minutes at 180 degrees C.
7. The flapjacks should be a rich golden brown colour.
8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool fully before cutting into slices or squares.
