If you’d love a good healthy snack for your kids that’s quick, simple to make, and delicious then give this recipe a whirl.
Preheat your oven now to 150C/ 300F because they only take 10 minutes to whip up.
These are especially good for breakfast as they are made up of oats. Our bubba hates oats, it doesn’t matter what I add or how lovely I think it tastes he won’t eat it – until now! Once one is finished he wants another quick smart, he loves them and I hope your little ones do too.
It’s just as yum uncooked too!
For this recipe I used regular oats but of course you can swap them out for gluten-free if you prefer.
You might like to leave the cashews whole if you don’t have small children eating although giving them a rough chop helps the flavor go through and still leaves you with a bit of crunch.
If you’d like to chuck in a tablespoon of honey go ahead, they’re yummy like that but I skip that bit now because bubs is only 8 months and lil miss likes them just the same without it (I always used to add it in the past though.)
All you’ll need for this is a:
- fork
- bowl
- baking paper
- baking tray
- preheated oven at 150C/ 300F
- freezer or zip lock bag and a
- meat mallet (or something to smash the nuts)
There you have it, a healthy snack for your kids.
These need to be stored in the refrigerator and are best heated slightly.
Hope you enjoy!
❄️ This cooking time leaves them slightly moist in the center.
