Fruit Oaty Slice - GF
Mar 10, 2016

A sweet treat -

I remember buying something similar to this recipe at the bakery. Glenn always bought the apricot ones and I enjoyed the apple ones. I have replaced most of the flour with rolled oats and instead of white flour have used wholemeal flour. The sweetener is brown rice malt syrup ( no fructose) or honey can be used. Fruit is naturally sweet so does not need any more added to it.

Eaten as a dessert with unsweetened yogurt or as a slice for the lunch box.
