Easy Banana Flapjacks
These banana flapjack balls are a huge hit with kids as it’s a healthier alternative to a regular flapjack with a little cook twist to it! I make them all the time for fairs and last time I made some I made about 500!! They honestly are so fun to make with kids and so here’s the recipe in case you feel you want to do a bit of baking over the weekend.
