These bars are so simple & quick to make and they’re much cheaper than pre-made bars too.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ They’re also a great source of soluble fibre & energy, as well as nutrients such as vitamins A & C! If you make this recipe, please do tag me in a picture (I’m @mummynutrition) & let me know how yours turn out over on my Instagram page!

As babies under 12 months can’t have honey, if you want to break them up and share with a baby who’s under 12 months, you can always skip the honey. ⁣⁣⁣For a dairy-free snack bar, simply use coconut oil instead of butter.

INGREDIENTS

  • 150g oats⁣⁣⁣
  • 1-2 small carrots, peeled & finely grated
  • 2 small apples (or 1 large), finely grated ⁣⁣
  • 2 small apples (or 1 large), finely grated ⁣
  • 1-2 tbsp coconut oil/butter⁣⁣⁣*
  • 1-2 tbsp honey/maple syrup**
  • 1/2-1 tbsp cinnamon or ginger
  • handful of chopped, dried fruit (optional)

*use coconut oil or a dairy-free spread if your baby has CMPA (cow’s milk protein allergy)

**Don’t use added sugar if your baby is under 12 months (babies can’t have honey under 12 months due to the risk of food poisoning).

METHOD

  1. Pre heat your oven to 190°C⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
  2. Mix together the oil/butter & honey in a pan over a medium heat before adding the carrots & apples – stir to combine.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
  3. Mix together the oats, chopped dried fruit (optional), & cinnamon/ginger in a separate bowl before adding to them the grated apple, carrot, oil and honey mix. Stir to combine.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
  4. Press the mixture into a square baking tin or pyrex dish & bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Allow to cool at room temperature before cutting into 15 rectangular bars.
  5. Enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the fridge/freezer for later!

I really hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do at home! Don’t forget to let me know if you make it over on my Instagram – @mummynutriton
