Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dried mango, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients well.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup until smooth.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is fully combined.
  5. Add the dry oat mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chopped dried mango and shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Press the flapjack mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or a flat spatula to compact it.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
  9. Remove the pan from the oven and let the flapjacks cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Cooling is important for texture.
  10. Once cool, use the parchment overhang to lift the flapjack slab out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares.

Notes

  • For a gluten free mango flapjacks option, use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
  • If you prefer a stronger mango flavor, you can soak the dried mango in 2 tablespoons of hot water for 10 minutes before chopping and adding it to the batter.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute half of the butter with coconut oil.
