I’m really excited about these banana flapjacks! It’s not just because they are healthy. It’s not just because they are sweetened with honey and banana, making them refined sugar free. It’s not even that they’re a great school/work lunchbox treat. It’s because I have made a video tutorial to accompany them 
. You can see it here!
I have spent the whole weekend learning the basics of video editing and have probably put my friendships in jeopardy because of it. My total obsession has meant that I have been ignoring all calls, emails and messages. Sorry Kate! I wonder if a batch of healthy banana flapjacks would make up for being such a bad friend?
So please be gentle with me. This is my very first video and I think it is a case of practice makes perfect. There is room for improvement, a lot of room, but I think I may really enjoy learning this new skill.
To be honest with you I haven’t actually tried one of these flapjacks. Banana is not my cup of tea. My brother, however, loves banana so was my very willing taster for this recipe. He ate two in one sitting and bagged up the rest to take home with him – so I take that as a good result. He even asked for the recipe!
Anyway, I hope that you like the video. The full recipe for these banana flapjacks is also posted below for you to peruse at a more sedate rate
