Is it always snack o’clock for your kids also?!

Try this healthier flapjack version to get them going. Just a few ingredients and packed with whole grains, healthy fats and is refined sugar free. Perfect as a flight snack or in a lunchbox. My 2 yr old always asks for 1 to have in each hand 😉 I made a batch of them for our longhair flight to New Zealand a couple of weeks back and it was a perfect travel snack!
