Lemon Ginger Flapjacks are a zesty, flavorful twist on the classic oat-based snack. These flapjacks are packed with the refreshing flavor of lemon and the warming kick of ginger, making them a perfect balance of sweet and spicy for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp ground ginger (or 1 tsp freshly grated ginger)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a square or rectangular baking pan (8×8-inch or similar) with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, ginger, lemon zest, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and fresh lemon juice until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until everything is evenly combined. The mixture should be thick and sticky.
  5. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, pressing it down firmly and evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the flapjacks cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, cut into squares or bars and serve.

Notes

For added variety, mix in dried fruits like raisins or cranberries, or add chopped nuts for extra crunch.For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water) and use maple syrup instead of honey.if you prefer a different oil, you can substitute coconut oil with olive oil or avocado oil.For more warmth, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the mixture.
