Chewy and crumbly pineapple weed flapjacks (vegan)

Years ago I created a sugar-free, vegan flapjack recipe with dates and fresh ginger. I loved those flapjacks, though these have possibly overtaken them as my favourites; a crumbly oat topping, chewy pineapple weed centre and moist base. My friend H had four of them as dessert! Just sweet enough, they also make a great breakfast treat with yoghurt.

Pineapple weed flapjack recipe

This recipe is easy to make and is a great alternative to buttery, sugary flapjacks. The flavour is fruity and aromatic and the texture crumbly and soft or chewy. First you'll need to make the pineapple weed and pineapple jam. They also freeze well.

I love eating these on their own or breaking them up and combining with yoghurt as a snack or breakfast treat.

This recipe for Pineapple Weed Oat Slices is in my book Wild and Sweet (page 128) alongside 4 other pineapple weed recipes and 99 wild desserts.

Pineapple weed is one of the edible weeds I teach through summer. My foraging courses cover around 8 wild foods and herbs, and I also offer private forays where you can decide what you want included in your foray!
