White Chocolate Peanut Butter Flapjacks: lovely chewy (and mostly healthy!) oat bars studded with white chocolate chunks and loaded with sweet-and-salty peanut butter flavour.
It’s just a fact that the ugliest foods are the tastiest foods.
While we can all appreciate the craftsmanship of fine patisserie or Michelin-star cheffing, our favourite foods are usually much more rustic dining experiences.
Mac and cheese, chips, curries, lasagna, burritos. Otherworldly creations offering a level of comfort that is truly wasted on us humans. Aside from the indulgence they allow, they all share a common theme, they’re a wee bit ugly.
Flapjacks are a food that falls into this beige-but-delicious category. They are ugly by all means, messily cut bars of oats and associated stodge, varying in colour only by differing shades of brown. However, they are also undeniably delicious.
These White Chocolate Peanut Butter Flapjacks are a taste of that ugly baking. A taste of your mum’s kitchen, or a church gathering, or a school bake sale. A satisfyingly sweet and wholesome snack, that aren’t too fussy about their appearance.
Chewy oat bars packed with punchy peanut butter flavour and melting creamy pockets of white chocolate are what you can expect from these White Chocolate Peanut Butter Flapjacks. They are as filling and nutritious as they are rich and indulgent. These bars will give you the gift of fibre and protein and healthy fats as well as being a pretty banging breakfast.
You can knock these flapjacks up with some handy everyday ingredients. I haven’t been too specific about the kind of peanut butter to use, for example, as I’ve found that these work whether you use the cheap thick kind or the all-natural runny healthy kind. The ones you see pictured were made using this. Also, feel free to add any other ingredients you like to these flapjacks; seeds, dried fruit and different kinds of chocolate all work well!
