]]> These dark chocolate-dipped flapjacks are proof that a little bit of what you fancy really does do you good! Especially when it’s packed with gut-loving ingredients.

Rolled oats provide gentle soluble fibre to help soften stools and keep things moving, making them ideal for anyone dealing with IBS-related constipation. Apricots offer natural sweetness and a mild laxative effect thanks to their fibre and sorbitol content, while pumpkin seeds deliver zinc and magnesium to calm the gut and support digestive muscle function.

Bound together with honey and proper butter (or coconut oil for a vegan twist), these bars are baked, chilled, then finished with a dunk in rich 80% dark chocolate – full of antioxidants and mood-boosting compounds. Keep a stash in the freezer and grab one when your gut (or your sweet tooth) needs a little TLC.


Chocolate Dipped Flapjacks!
Servings8 portions
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Passive Time2 hours
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Combine the oats, apricots and pumpkin seeds in a bowl.
  2. Stir in the melted butter and the honey until everything is combining well.
  3. Press the mixture into a shallow lined baking tray, about 1 cm think until all the air is squeezed out. Cook on a medium heat for around 15 minutes, until the flapjacks are golden and solid. Allow to cool for 1 hour in the fridge. Then cut into shape, making them even.
  4. Once chilled, melt the chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan. Then dunk each flapjack into the melted dark chocolate. You can drizzle the remainder of the chocolate across the bars.
  5. Next, place them on baking paper on a tray to chill in the fridge for 1 hour. Serve and enjoy!
