Apple Pie Oat Bars are the perfect Lunchbox snack. Our kids, Leilani (6) and Patrick (5), LOVE the choc chip oat slice bars I created last year and it has been on my list to create a chocolate free version to mix it up a bit and reduce the sugar content a bit.
I was talking about what flavour combinations to do for the kids, and he suggested dried apple… then I said with cinnamon… and a great idea was born! I think these apple and cinnamon flavoured bars are even better than the original, which is saying something! Feel free as always to play around with the flavours in this healthy Thermomix Recipe. These Apple Pie Oat Bars freeze well and are great as small bites to pop in to lunch boxes or for an on the go breakfast option.
