Rich, buttery and utterly delicious, this low carb adaptation of flapjacks uses flaked almonds and coconut chips in place of the traditional oats.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
Step 2
Add the coconut flakes, flaked almonds, desiccated coconut and ground almonds to a food processor. Pulse to combine until you have an oat like consistency.
Step 3
Add the xylitol to a large pan along with the butter and coconut oil. Turn the heat to low and stir together until melted and well combined. Remove from the heat.
Step 4
Tip the almond and coconut ‘oats’ into the pan with the melted fats. Mix well to combine, covering the nut mixture in the fats and sweetener.
Step 5
Tip the mixture into the lined loaf tin. Using the back of a wooden spoon, or your hands if the mixture is cool enough, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the base of the tin.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the oven to bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown all over.
Step 7
Remove the flapjacks from the oven to cool completely in the tin. Once cool, carefully transfer to the freezer for 15-20 minutes until set, but not frozen.
Step 8
Slice into 8 even squares.
