[@gtn]

What do you eat on race day? Let us know!

[@tomfluffer7055]

Dried figs and dates.

If anyones wondering if this works with non-dairy “butter” (the baking stick kind) it worked great but I had to add some more oats to get it to the consistency in the video - ymmv, I think that might have been down to my oats. Dead easy recipe and delicious results, thanks!

“Triathlon’s Guide - Cooking with Heather Fell” This looks like one of those recipes with a million possibilities!

[@gtn]

Absolutely!

[@cristianruzak6816]

Hello dear GTN Team, many thanks for the recipe. I would add some salt, just a bit, to cut the "flat" taste from the oats.

[@ben4q]

👍more recipes please. Loved this

[@colinb8327]

Add some peanut powder and hot choc to the mix for a kind of Reece’s pieces taste. 😋

[@mikekent9488]

I always try and pack flapjack when out for a long ride. I must start making them though! This reminds me how easy it is.

[@AnonymousCuIIen]

I wish my kitchen was that clean :D

[@NicGalvao_Violin]

Great bars! Help us with storage and packing to rides, please.

[@AnaFerreira-nn3qm]

More videos like this, please! 😁

[@Gorzka87]

Did the flapjacks make it to the bike ride 😉 Looking at them just makes you want to eat them at the spot 😋

[@ljk5708]

Patience is key🤣🤣

[@stevedouglas3606]

I think my flapjack recipe is an identical ratio. I sometimes stir in some finely chopped glacé cherries for flavour and if I ever remember to buy some, some almonds. Biggest problem is preventing my girlfriend from eating half of my stash before I actually get out on the bike with them.

[@NeilAubrey]

How do you wrap them up for riding?

[@lwittrock1]

Great video!

[@gtn]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@markwilson4535]

Not keen on the butter and sugar - I make my own 'powerbars' using oats, dates, cocoa and agave nectar, finely chop everything together in a mixer and add a little warm waterwater for consistency, mix well, press into a lined tin and pop in the fridge, cut into slices, wrap and take on a ride :-)

[@jamiefuhrman403]

Love your recipe. I was also quite disappointed with the unhealthy nature of this episode. Unless GTN feels otherwise, skeptical of any potential benefits compared to some healthier alternatives they've featured in the past.

[@janettrigwell8851]

Think you got to make them.

[@savagepro9060]

Carbon bikes, Carbonated Drinks, and Carbo-Hydrates. Hmm!

[@rspringphotography]

How long can you store those Flapjacks? looks great just started to make some selfmade cereals and i love it!!!

[@martinrose9794]

I have been making something similar and I just wrap mine in foil and carry them in my cycling jersey pocket or my nathans handheld running water bottle.

[@robg109]

Wish you did the video in Nigela Lawson style 🤣

[@Veroweithofer]

Tipp: add cinnamon

[@universeusa]

👏👏👏👏👍🌹 🇬🇧

[@timofalltrades400]

Isn't that just an Anzac biscuit?

[@Underdog_Triathlete]

As an American, this was a very confusing episode for me. :P

[@gtn]

Apologies, we do try to make them as easy to follow as possible, we'll try harder in the future!

[@Underdog_Triathlete]

@@gtn Oh gosh no, the video was perfectly fine, and I had no problem with the recipe! I was joking that it’s not what I expected because in America, a “flapjack” is a pancake. Great content, and keep up the awesome work!

[@inz_uzi]

125 g of sugar. Very healthy. 🤔

[@markwilson4535]

Agree - not keen! See my alternative recipe above :-)

[@inz_uzi]

@@markwilson4535 Agave nectar is even worse because it contains 85% of fructose. Human body can't use fructose directly for energy production and almost 100% of it is converted to fat in liver. Fructose triggers insuline release which blocks fat burning and this fat is stored in adipose tissues. Simply put it makes you fat.

[@markwilson4535]

@@inz_uzi Also sometimes use honey - have seen varying reports about agave - depending on source or process?
