This delicious slice is another perfect addition to your picnic basket. It is packed with nutritious ingredients and is super easy to whip up in the kitchen, even with the kiddies.  It is packed with lots of fresh spring flavours from the apple, raspberries and coconut. The slice is also packed with the star ingredient of oats.

Oats are an incredibly nutritious food packed with important vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

They are high in fibre and protein compared to other grains and contain some unique components — in particular, the soluble fibre beta-glucan, which has numerous benefits. It helps reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels, promotes healthy gut bacteria and increases feelings of fullness.

  • ½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries (or any berries you have lying around) 
  • 1/3 honey cup
