Healthy, because

Even smarter

These little snacks are full of protein and energizing carbohydrates because of the seeds and oats. It will lead to satiation because of the protein, fiber, and the complex carbs. Many conventional snacks like chips have a lot of oil and unhealthy fats, so these are a perfect way to snack that won't lead to an energy crash.

You can use coconut sugar instead of cane sugar for an even healthier option, and you can use whatever seeds you prefer.

Preparation steps

Place the almonds, sunflower seeds, oats, amaranth and half the dates in a bowl with the cinnamon and a pinch salt.

Place 2 ounces butter, 1 ounce sugar, and half the honey in a pot and heat until the sugar has dissolved.

Stir the hot butter mixture into the dry ingredients and line a small baking tray (approx. 8" x 8") with baking paper. Transfer the mixture to the baking tray pressing down firmly and evenly.

Dissolve the remaining sugar in a pot and add the remaining butter and the honey. Mix well and stir in the remaining dates. Spread the mixture immediately onto the flapjacks in the baking tray and sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and the amaranth. Chill for around 1 hour, then knock out of the baking tray, remove the paper and cut into triangles with an oiled knife.
