This recipe is packed with oats, chia seeds and dates which provide the flapjack with a good dose of fibre to support the gut microbiome. The chia seeds also contain soluble and insoluble fibre which absorbs water and helps create softer, bulkier stools. Lemon zest and juice creates a sweet kick without the need of refined sugar.
