Sounds nice

What we're really looking for is a savoury version. We've tried oat cakes and Snack a Jacks, but really want a savoury/spicy cereal bar

spray uncooked poppadoms with a small spray of Flora spray or similar and microwave for 30-40 seconds. Low fat, savoury, not hideously calorific. We never get fried poppadoms even when we get takeaway.

Love recipes with oats in. Your flapjack is a lot less fattening than my recipe CT - what a clever thought to put grated apple in. I'll give it a try tomorrow.

I've got lots of dried apple rings .......wonder if they could be chopped up and put in ?

[Creemteez]

Dried apple would be lovely, but I put the grated apple in to replace some of the fat content, so I'd put in both - with some chopped dates!

Nice as a munchie, but we're looking for a meal replacement really: something he can have in his pocket when he's travelling

Poppadoms can be cooked under a hot grill, a few seconds on each side. Works without any fat at all. Best for the spiced ones, plain ones are a bit bland cooked that way.

How about this one TwoSheds? Baking - Review - It's flapjack... but not as we know it!

^ might give that one a whirl, thank you

I've taken my own advice and baked a batch using the ww recipe. Instead of salt I used a crumbled veggie stock cube. I feel I had been too heavy on the dried mixed herbs so I should have used two scant teaspoonsful (not that keen on the flavour of thyme and rosemary). Tasting it now I think the mix would be enhanced by some seeds - pumpkin, sunflower and even some sesame over the surface.
However it is a good hearty snack and in a strange way tastes quite meaty for a veggie dish!

You could possibly use a very hard cheese such as Gran Padrano or Parmesan, which have a lower fat content in the savoury flapjack.

I know someone who's child is vegan, she substitutes mashed banana for eggs in cake recipes which could also help with a calorie count. I have my Nan's tea loaf recipe and I used to put banana in that instead of egg when the BH had gallbladder problems.
