I love making an easy traybake and this baked oaty slice is a good one! So easy to make, it’s like a cross between a flapjack, a cookie and a cake. It’s really moreish and something the kids love for breakfast, in their lunch boxes or as a sweet treat after school.

How do you make a Baked Oaty Slice?

This Baked Oaty Slice recipe could not be easier to make. It uses typical cake or cookie ingredients – flour, sugar, butter, egg and flavourings – with oats and any additions you feel like. We always put dried fruit in ours and chocolate chips – although, more often than not, they melt before the bake has even been put in the oven!

But, you can add pretty much anything you like to make this bake your own and suit the tastes of the people you are baking for. We love to add nuts, cherries, desiccated coconut, white choc chips, pumpkin seeds and anything else we have in the cupboard at the time. It’s a great recipe for using up anything you have to hand.

You can make chocolate chip baked oaty slices, chocolate orange baked oaty slices with delicious orange pieces in the mix or even a plan and easy oat slice with no additions, just the basic oaty mix! It’s delicious as just oats or with oats combined with other flavours.

This is such a versatile recipe to make and super easy too. You can make a batch of oaty slices within half an hour – and they’re usually eaten just as quickly too! They’re best eaten the day they’re made but keep well for a few days in an airtight container too.
