Apricot, Coconut and Oat Slice

This Apricot, Coconut and Oat Slice is a delicious sweet treat for the kids – and grown ups too!

I came up with the slice when I went to make my regular Muesli Slice recipe for our morning tea and discovered we were out of nuts and sultanas – thankfully it was a hit with the boys.  This slice is PACKED with dried apricots simply because we all love them, however you can easily reduce the amount used if you prefer.

While it may be super tempting to take this Apricot, Coconut and Oat Slice out of the tin quickly so you can cut it up to eat, it’s REALLY important to let it cool completely in the tin as this helps it stay together when the time does come to cut it.

Since ‘discovering’ this recipe, it’s become one of our favourites and is now on regular rotation in our house. It’s also perfect for lunch boxes or as an afternoon snack.
