Golden Squash and Cheddar Flapjacks

By OcadoLifePublished on 03 April 2026For breakfast or on the go, or a tasty between-meals snack, try these moreish Golden Squash and Cheddar Flapjacks from chef and award-winning author Rachel de Thample. The cheddar adds sharpness, while a mix of seeds brings texture and crunch. Swap the cheddar for cottage cheese if you prefer (just add a little extra sea salt), and the squash for carrots or courgettes – whatever you’ve got to hand.
