What is Veganuary?
The Veganuary movement inspired over half a million people in 2021 to try going vegan for a number of reasons relating to their health, the environment, animal welfare and some just for the challenge! If you are participating in Veganuary this year, then our Vegan Flapjack recipe is guaranteed to keep you feeling satisfied.
Are Vegan flapjacks good for you?
A Vegan flapjack is the perfect on-the-go breakfast, packed with slow energy-releasing carbohydrates. They are also a great way to ensure you are getting the right amount of protein when following a Vegan or plant-based diet. Oats - the primary ingredient for our award-winning flapjacks - have a unique protein composition and high protein content of 11-15%. This makes them one of the best grains to eat to increase protein in your diet!
Vegan flapjacks also make for a good snack if you are feeling low on energy and are simple to customise for your ideal taste. Add nuts for a source of healthy fats or dried fruit for natural sweetness or opt for something sweeter like Vegan chocolate chunks!
