This summer berry oatmeal slice is so simple to prepare, I even enlisted the help of my 3 year old! She loves baking and she is becoming a dab hand at it. I try to include her whenever I can with the baking and I want to teach her to use more healthy ingredients so oats and berries are a great choice. There is some sugar in this but not too much so they are relatively healthy! I have yet to try making these with honey as a substitute as this was my first attempt at making them but if you try it, let me know how it goes.
They turned out soft and a bit chewy which is what I was hoping for and they were nice with a cup of tea. They didn’t last very long so thats a good sign I guess! Here is the recipe –

We had fun making these so it is a great way to pass some time with the kids. The fact that it is baked in a pan means that they would probably be a good party snack when baking for a crowd. You can always play around with the recipe by adding chocolate chips or sweet spices. Do let me know in the comments if you try any different variations. I am sure to make these again.
Share it for later or print off the recipe to add to your recipe book!
