Breakfast on the go
What comes to mind when you hear “Breakfast on the go” for me, it’s either sandwiches, a cereal bar, or maybe a smoothie. For a long time, I used to call anything made from oats an oat bar, it doesn’t matter to me, if it has oats it’s just an oat bar to me. Then I heard about flap jacks which I call granola bars now and I think will I stick to that because it just doesn’t matter. So today I have for you this recipe on how to make traditional flapjacks. For the ingredients you will need;
