Healthy Eating Flapjack - Low fat, high fibre, low sugar treat
Ingredients to make 16 flapjacks:
1/2 cup low-fat spread, 4 tbsp rice syrup*, 1/2 cup wholemeal flour, 2 cups porridge oats and 2/3 cup pine nuts.
Method
Preheat oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Line a 20cm (8inch) baking tin with oiled foil. Melt low-fat spread and rice syrup in a small saucepan over a low heat until melted. Stir in flour, porridge oats and pine nuts until well mixed.
Put mixture into tin and make even. Bake for 25-30 minutes until lightly browned. Mark into squares while still warm, when cooled, tip on wire rack.
* You can also use syrup but rice syrup is a healthier option because it is approximately 50% soluble complex carbohydrates, 45% maltose and 3% glucose. The glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream immediately, the maltose takes up to one and a half hours to be digested and the complex carbohydrates take from two to three hours so providing a steady supply of energy. This could be an especially useful sugar substitute for diabetics.
