Pecan-Apple Flapjack Bake

When flapjack meets cake.

Back to baking this week using one of my favourite ingredients, apples. This is a variation on my no-bake apple flapjacks so if you have the ingredients for that you'll already have most of the stuff you need to make this one! I've used vanilla protein powder in mine to make it a bit sweeter & give an extra protein hit but if you prefer you can leave this out & substitute for 1 tsp vanilla extract & 2 tsp stevia.
