Today I wanted to share a recipe I tried out yesterday afternoon with you all. I found it over at Jade's blog and thought it sounded like a healthier teatime treat to indulge in. It was very easy to make and according to Jade, can also be frozen. I did find that the slice was quite soft when I initially took it out of the oven but it firmed up once cool (a bit like Anzac biscuits). Here's Jade's recipe...
Muesli Slice
125g butter
⅓ cup sugar
2 tbspn honey
1 cup rolled oats
½ desiccated coconut
½ cup dried apricots
½ cup sultanas
½ cup self raising flour
Stir butter, sugar and honey in a large saucepan over medium heat, without boiling until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining ingredients. Press the mixture firmly into a 20x30cm pan. Bake for approx 20 minutes in a medium oven. If you take it out of the oven and it seems too crumbly pop back into the oven for another 5 minutes or so.
Do you have any similar 'healthy' recipes for morning or afternoon tea snacks?
Sounds yum,perfect for an after school snack :)
ReplyDeleteMmm I love muesli slice and this sounds like a nice easy one. I was thinking of doing a post on a couple of healthy snacks that I made for the girls to have in their lunch boxes, I'll do a post tonight with the recipes. I hope you are feeling well. xo
ReplyDeleteI should have written above that I chopped up the dried apricots.
ReplyDeleteCatherine - starting to feel more energetic as the days are going on. Did you notice which little saucer I had the slice above on? :)
Goodness, that's positively health food! I'm not sure I cook any healthy snacks, I'm just too naughty!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are doing well Amanda.

OMG Amanda I read your blog post at 10pm and new this would be perfect for our picnic tomorrow, I had all the ingredients. It was in the oven by 10.30pm. I twas so quick and easy. I used a lower fat butter and it still turned out fantastic. I hope all the kids and mums enjoy it tomorrow. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Anzac biscuits, muesli or sultanas, so you've got me interested in tracking down the ingredients to try these.
ReplyDeleteJill - I'm so glad you gave it a go and hope you all enjoy it at the picnic. Grace has been asking for 'more' every time I get out the tin :)
ReplyDeleteHilary - I'll be doing an Anzac biscuit post next week for Anzac Day hopefully :) I guess sultanas are like raisins, the muesli part is basically oats and coconut.
YAY AMANDA !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOUR LITTLE FAMILY - a new baby on the way !!!!! Absolutely wonderful news!!! A little buddy for Grace - how sweet! Take care beautiful girl xo !!!
