Recipe 11: So much fun with kids-Vegan raspberry flapjack

Posted by Japan Emporium Admin on

I am cutting lengthy explanation. From tomorrow, a potentially very long home schooling starts for the majority of young families in the UK. How can we cope in this situation? If we can buy milk from supermarket today, we are lucky. You may have some butter in the fridge but it looks precious. 
I looked around my cupboard and immediately came across this recipe which requires NO BUTTER, NO EGGS, NO FLOUR but does require some leftover ingredients which may be hiding in your cupboard for a long time from the time when you made other cakes.
Kids can have so much fun making this. Unlike many other desserts and cakes, this method is NOT SENSITIVE in any way; you can take time in measuring, mixing and cutting or allow your kids to do it all. You can talk about maths and science in the process. Do you know why the coconut oil becomes runny and transparent when heated?☺
