Healthy Chewy Crumbly Fruity Oat Slice

Oat slices are not only a delicious and filling snack, but they are great food for on the go.

I generally use sultanas when making this recipe but I do like to change it up from time to time. These oat slices are very versatile that generally most dried fruits work well in it, every so often when I'm feeling like I fancy something a little more indulgent I use half chocolate chips and half dried fruit.

INGREDIENTS

1 tbsp chia seeds + 2 tbsp water (or 1 egg)

90g low fat olive spread, melted

1 tbsp clear honey

1 tsp vanilla essence

½ cup plain flour

1 ½ cups oats

½ cup sultanas

The sultanas can be substituted for other dried fruit

METHOD

Preheat your oven 180ºc / 160º fan

Start by soaking the chia seeds in the water in a small bowl, leave to one side for approx 10 minutes, unless your using an egg

Mix the melted olive spread and the soaked chia seeds or egg (whichever your using) and vanilla together, then add the flour and mix well

Next add the oats, mix well, followed by the sultanas. Give the mixture a good stir making sure everything is combined

Pour your mixture into a lined or greased baking tray (20 x 20cm ) and gently press down so the mixture is tightly compacted

Place in the oven on the middle shelf and bake for approx 20-25 minutes, or until the edges start to go a golden brown colour and also start to come away from the sides of the baking tray

Leave in the tray to cool, then cut into your desired sizes
