Four Easy Ways With Oats

snacks
Using what you’re likely to already have in the cupboards, we’ve put together these easy recipes with oats that even the youngest in the family can get involved with for a quick, tasty homemade snack. 

Instructions

Oat, Chocolate & Peanut Butter Balls

Mix 150g oats with 125g peanut or nut butter, 113g of maple syrup and 60g of chocolate chips until well incorporated and leave in the fridge for half an hour.

Scoop small handfuls of the mixture and form into balls. If they last that long, these will keep in the fridge for up to a week, and three months in the freezer

NUT & MAPLE GRANOLA

Preheat the oven to 180c.

Mix dry ingredients together before adding the wet ingredients and combining

Spread mixture on a baking tray and bake in the oven for up to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through.

Leave to cool undisturbed for 45 mins before breaking up how you like (chunky or more granular).

This granola will keep in an airtight container for two weeks, or in the freezer for three months.

SAVOURY GOLDEN SLICE

Preheat the oven to 180c

Mix all ingredients and spread on a large, shallow and well-oiled baking tray

Bake for 30 minutes

Cut into squares and enjoy warm, or cold.

LATE SUMMER OAT CRUMBLE TOPPING

Preheat the oven to 180c

Stew seasonal chopped fruit for five minutes (plums, apples, greengages, blackberries – keep it simple, or get creative!),

Add a relative amount of sugar, honey or maple syrup, subject to preference. Pour into a baking dish.

In a mixing bowl, rub 100g flour and 75g cubes of cold butter together with fingertips until you have breadcrumbs, stir in 50g oats, 100g demerara sugar and any optional extras like a handful of chia seeds, or ground almonds.

Cover fruit with mixture and press gently with hands to pack it down. Bake in the oven for 30 mins or until crisp and brown on top. Crumble makes a delicious cold breakfast with a little creme fraiche.
