    As you know I've been following a vegan diet for five months now and I'm proud to say that I'm doing really well. The one thing that I thought I would struggle with is with sweet foods. I'm not craving chocolate so much, but I do still like a sweet treat in the afternoon. I've been experimenting with making vegan treats and last week I modified one of my favourite flapjack recipes to make it vegan friendly. I'm pleased to say that they taste exactly the same and this fruit flapjack recipe went down a treat with some friends that I had over for coffee one morning.

    They are really easy to make and the oats and seeds make them a great source of protein and the dried fruit provides lots of nutrients like iron from the apricots and antioxidants from the dried cranberries. You can mix up the fruit and seeds too according to your taste.

      these sound so good, and really straightforward to make. I don't have dairy, so having things like this ready to go is really handy 🙂
