Vegan Flapjacks! Finally I have a solution how to combine raisins, dried apricots, Pumpkin seeds coconut shavings and many other delicious ingredients in one bar. Bar get. At first I was a bit skeptical whether it would all taste really delicious in the end. But after my first bite, any doubts evaporated and I found myself in Snacking -heaven. This Bolt will always accompany me from now on, during sports, on the way to the summit or if once again a longer hike with the huskies is pending. Simply a dream my dears and here we go.
Vegan flapjacks – love at first sight
I always find dried fruit a bit difficult by itself, but packed in a bar, I love it more than anything. It is also always worth doing the work yourself, because then you know for sure what is in it. Palm oil? Wrong. Our today’s Ingredients list is limited to wonderfully simple ingredients, but they have it all in terms of nutrient density. Cranberries, raisins, sour cherries Pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, Chia seeds , walnuts, Dates , bourbon vanilla, cocoa butter and dark vegan chocolate.
What actually is cocoa butter?
Cocoa liquor is produced during the processing of cocoa beans. After being fermented and dried after harvesting , the roasting takes place. For this purpose, the shell of the beans is removed and they are ground into a cocoa mass. When the mass is subsequently pressed, fat escapes and this is the cocoa butter.
Here is a brief overview of the fat composition of cocoa butter:
- 60% saturated Fatty acids
- 33% simple unsaturated fatty acids
- Rest: multiple unsaturated fatty acids
Conclusion:
Cocoa butters are relatively low in nutrients and certainly not a superfood. However, in our recipe today, they serve an important purpose. Since it is solid at room temperature, like coconut oil, it is wonderful for holding our seeds and dried fruits together.
Where can I buy cocoa butter?
You can get them online or at any well-stocked organic supermarket. I have linked you below in the Recipe my favorite brand linked (no sponsorship!).
Practical are the Flapjacks especially because you can take them anywhere. I pack them mostly in my lunchbox and so they have already saved me from hypoglycemia in Meetings, or saved during long car rides.
TIP: For a more exotic version, replace the raisins and canberries with dried mango and pineapple. For a little superfood boost, you can also add 1-2 tablespoons of goji berries.
