An easy oat slice recipe, made with rolled oats, and simple pantry ingredients, my kids' favourite slice!
Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time25 minutes
Ingredients
1 Tbsp chia seeds or 1 Egg
2 Tbsp water
125 grams butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup plain flour
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup raisins
Instructions
If you are making the egg-free version of this recipe, then start by soaking the chia seeds in the water in a small bowl, leave them aside for 10 minutes or so. If you are going to make this recipe with an egg then you can skip this step
Mix the brown sugar and melted butter together, I use a whisk for this step
Whisk in either the soaked chia seeds or an egg and the vanilla
Add the flour, mix well (I swap to a wooden spoon at this stage)
Add the rolled oats and mix well
Add the raisins and mix so they evenly through the mix
Pour the mix into lined slice tin (I use a 20 x 20 cm tin, a cake tin will also work if you don't have a slice tin
Bake at 180 degrees Celsius (350 F) for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden and start to come away from the edge of the tin
Allow to coo,l then slice into squares
Notes
You can substitute coconut sugar or white sugar for the brown sugar if you prefer
You can substitute a regular egg for the chia seeds and water if you don't require an egg-free recipe
This recipe will work with gluten-free flour
I have not tested this recipe with fats and oils other than butter, but it would probably work with coconut oil (note this assumption is based on my baking experience, I have not tested this specific recipe with coconut oil)
The raisins can be substituted for other dried fruit, chopped dates or apricots are lovely too
