Recipe for Weetabix Paak
A Paak is like a flapjack. My Mum has made a non-vegan version of this several times, and the friends and family who tasted it, loved it! A few of them got talking and suggested that she veganised it, so that we could enjoy it. Funnily enough, my hubby, Suraj, loved it, and I wasn't a fan. However, I'm sharing the recipe with you because, as many others have, you may also try it, and find yourself yearning for more!
