OAT AND APRICOT BARS
For a healthy and affordable
snack in any kid’s lunchbox try these easy oat bars. They are nutritious and
delicious, and the kids can even help to make them.
Makes: 12 bars
Time: 45 minutes
You’ll
need:
1 ¾ cups cake flour
2 cups oats
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2/3 cup margarine
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla essence
Non stick cooking spray
1 ½ cups apricot jam
Method:
Preheat oven to 180C. Place flour, oats, sugar, vanilla and
margarine in a food processor and pulse 4 to 5 times or
until oat mixture resembles crumbs.
Press half of oat mixture into the bottom of a greased
33 x 23 x 5 cm baking pan.
Spread apricot jam over oat layer. Top with remaining
oat mixture over, and gently press.
Bake mixture at 180C° for 35 minutes or until golden
brown.
Cool bars completely in pan on a wire rack before
cutting.
Tips:
- Try using a different flavor jam each week. Or add some dried fruit to the food processor to make fruity oat bars.
- You can make batches of this at one go and simply keep some in an airtight container for your kids to grab as they go along and freeze some as these taste great even straight out of the freezer.
