Honey Oat Bars - Real Recipes from Mums

These are great low GI slices for the kids lunch box or a healthy snack with a cup of tea or coffee. If you want to change it up, add some chocolate drops on top of the slice before putting in the oven for that chocolate hit…

Ingredients (makes 24 Square Slices)

1 Cup Rolled Oats
1 Cup Mixed Sultanas and Craisens (Dried Cranberries)
Half Cup Raw Sugar
Half Cup Desiccated Coconut
Half Cup Wholemeal Self-Raising Flour
140 Grams Melted Butter
2 Table Spoons Honey
Splash Milk or Juice

Method

Heat Oven to 180 Degrees and line a slice or lamington tin with baking paper.
Melt butter and honey together on a slow heat.
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl together.
Mix butter/honey mix and splash of milk/juice into the dry ingredients until ingredients are no longer dry.
Place mixture firmly into tin and press down firmly.
Cook in oven until golden brown - approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Once out of oven cut into square slices when hot.
Remove from tin when cool.

Notes

This is a recipe handed to me by a beautiful friend and is loved by everyone I have ever served it to - kids and adults alike.

A tip. Don’t bake these too long and them feel really firm. When they go cold they gradually go hard and you do not want to break your teeth trying to bite a piece off or to chew.

  Home made bars are always nicer and affordable and you know every single ingredient in the bars.
