Carrot Flapjacks

admin — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 14:00:34 +0000

I love making these and they last me ages! I always have something sweet on hadn’t if I fancy it that won’t aggravate my IBS and will satisfy any cravings.

These flapjacks are filling and good for you as they contain only natural ingredients. So you can enjoy these without feeling guilty and knowing that you are doing something good for your body in terms of providing yourself with real energy from mother nature, and feeding your gut microbiome at the same time!

once made these can be frozen and taken out as and when needed. I freeze mine in bags of three and make them last a week.

Carrot Flapjacks

Servings10 portions

Prep Time25 mintues

Cook Time15 minutes

Passive Time2 hours

Ingredients

bars

250grams Organic Oats
1large Carrotgrated
3tbsp pumpkin seeds
200grams Melted ButterYou can use coconut oil for a vegan option.
5tbsp Maple Syrup

Topping

White Chocolateyou can use a vegan alternative

Instructions

Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl, apart from the white chocolate (or vegan alternative).
Line a deep flat tray with baking paper. Spoon out the mixture and spread with a soft spatula, ensuring you get a nice even layer. Mark out where you want to cut the bars to make this easier once set.
Pop this in the oven at 180 for 15 minutes, checking to make sure the edges are not burning.
Leave to cool in the fridge for at least an hour before adding the topping. Once cooled, score down the lines to cut these into bars. I used a pizza cutter.
Melt the white chocolate (or vegan alternative) and drizzle over the bars in a diagonal pattern, then transfer them back into the fridge for another hour to set.
Once your flapjack bars have set you can freeze them or keep them in the fridge up to 7 days. I like to have some in the freezer so that I can grab one when I feel the need.

Fruity Pancakes

admin — Wed, 31 May 2023 15:01:24 +0000

Breakfast is one of the meals that women with IBS struggle with the most. This is a great weekend treat as it takes a little more time than a lot of my breakfast recipes but is certainly worth the wait. This recipe is great for gut health, gluten free and includes great antioxidants from the fruit as well as complex carbs to keep you feeling full for longer.

This delicious breakfast is a real treat and as it is refined sugar, gluten and dairy free (if you choose to use oil instead of butter) it won’t upset your tummy in the way other pancakes recipes might.

Using a small pancakes frying pan, melt some butter and pour in some mixture, coating the base of the frying pan and cook one side for around a minute, then flip (or slide onto a plate and turn over with a soft spatula as I tend to do) and cook the other side.
Stack the pancakes onto two plates as they are ready.
Once the pancake batter is all used, decorate your plates with fruit, drizzle with maple syrup and serve.

Blueberry Porridge

Porridge Oats are slow release Carbs that will keep you feeling fuller for longer. The Banana is loaded with Potassium which is great for brain function and Blueberries are packed with Antioxidants that will help prevent free radical damage to your cells.

The Salt will help replenish Electrolytes and provide energy, as will the Maple Syrup (try to source organic and pure forms of these flavourings).

*OPTIONAL* Use seeds if staying away from nuts and nut products. The Walnuts will provide omegas (healthy fats), Protein and Vitamin E, another powerful antioxidant.

Boil a kettle and place the oats and water in a saucepan. Add a pinch of salt.
Stir for 2 – 3 minutes and then add the banana in small pieces. Stir in the banana, breaking it down into a smooth consistency.
Add the washed blueberries and again, break them down until at least half of them have burst, spilling the blueberries juice into the porridge and turning it a deep purple. (You can swap the blueberries for Raspberries for a Pink Porridge instead!)
Serve the porridge and add a tsp of maple syrup too each bowl and some crushed walnuts.
Enjoy this delicious, healthy and nutritious breakfast!
