Breakfast Oat Bars
Fri, 16th of September
With the kids back to school, September mornings can be a bit hectic, especially while everyone settles into a new routine. A good breakfast is still so important though. These bars are delicious but also packed full of nutrients and slow release oats, so you can pop one into the palm of a child running late or even eat it yourself! These are equally good as a mid-afternoon snack.

- 1 cup (80g) dessicated coconut
- ½ cup (80g) linseeds
- ½ cup (85g) chia seeds
