Anita’s Banana Oat Slice

 Our good friend Anita is always testing out recipes and creating delicious healthy food that we are fortunate enough to get a sample of every now and then.

This is one of her latest creations and it’s now my favourite slice!  The banana, apple and oats make it perfect for breakfast on the run or a quick snack during the day when your energy gets low, there’s no refined sugar or seed oil which makes this slice a much better option than regular muesli bars, slices or muffins.

Anita’s Banana Oat Slice

1 mashed banana

2 cups rolled oats

1 grated peeled carrot (small)

1 grated peeled and cored Granny Smith apple

1/2 cup unsweetened thick applesauce

1/2 cup chopped peanuts (or sunflower seeds)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 Tbs raw Manuka honey (Earthbound is great)

Here’s how to make it 

Grease a baking dish, around 23 x 13 cm in size. Turn on the oven and preheat to 175 degrees C.

In a bowl mix the bananas, oats, carrots, apple, applesauce, peanuts (or sunflower seeds) and chia seeds together, once combined drizzle over the raw Manuka honey and stir again. Spread evenly over your baking dish.

Bake your slice in the oven until golden brown, this should take around 20 mins. Cut into slices.
