Butter Free Blueberry Jam Flapjacks

Flapjacks are one of my favourite things ever but I can't really eat them at the moment because of my braces *metal grimace* I can just about manage the chewy butter ones, but they get stuck in the most awkward places and so they are not the most sociable things I can eat right now.

Cue a butter free soft option that crumbles nicely in your mouth all on its own.

But don't worry, they are not crumbly in a horrible, dry way. These have a generous dollop of blueberry jam in the mix, and, along with some nice juicy berries, creates a lovely, soft flapjack, minus the fatty butter. Great stuff.
