Ingredients

16 servings

For the flapjack

  • 180 g non-dairy margarine
  • 130 g golden caster sugar
  • 1 ½ tbsp agave nectar or golden syrup
  • 360 g porridge oats

For the fudgy topping

  • 110 g pitted dates, chopped
  • 40 g ground almonds
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • Pumpkin seeds (for sprinkling)

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease a baking tin with a lip.
  2. In a pan over medium heat, melt the margarine, sugar, and syrup together until the sugar is fully incorporated and there are no lumps.
  3. In a bowl, mix this sugar mixture with the oats until they are well coated. Transfer to the baking tray and press flat, ensuring an even thickness.
  4. Bake for around 30 minutes, then allow to cool in the tin.
  5. For the topping, place all ingredients except the pumpkin seeds into a food processor and pulse until smooth and caramel-like.
  6. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water. Adjust the amount of maple syrup to taste.
  7. Once the flapjacks have cooled, spread the fudgy topping evenly over the flapjacks, smoothing the top.
  8. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and chop into little squares to serve.
