Healthy (ish) Flapjacks

I say healthy (ish). This is because, in comparison to normal flapjacks, they are healthy, because they don't have any golden syrup in them, plus they have a banana; but in comparison to your average healthy food, they really aren't healthy at all. Either way, I love flapjacks, and these are super easy to make and super yummy as well, so enjoy!


NB: I didn't put any cups measurements in, because most of these measurements are just too small.
