No-Bake Oat Slice – NOT YET MADE
Chewy no-bake oat slice held together with nut butter and honey. Great for hot weather when you don’t want to turn the oven on.
Yield: 1 slice (about 16 small squares)
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ½ cup peanut butter or almond butter
- ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
- ½ cup chopped dried apricot, dried cranberries or other dried fruit
- ¼ cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 pinch salt, to taste
Cooking Directions
- Line a small slice tin or square dish with baking paper.
- Add the oats, chopped dried fruit, chocolate chips (if using) and salt to a large bowl.
- In a microwave-safe jug or small bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey.
- Microwave for 20–30 seconds until just warm and easy to stir, then mix until smooth.
- Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the oats and stir until everything is well coated.
- Tip the mixture into the prepared tin and press down very firmly so it holds together.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Lift out using the baking paper and cut into bars or squares.
- Store in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
