BANANA BLUEBERRY OAT SLICE

So, if you're a sugar fiend like me you tend to crave in the afternoon, or perhaps straight after dinner as dessert. Unfortunately I'm on a bit of a health kick so I'm trying to reduce my sugar intake, and decided to make this recipe as a way to satisfy my sweet addiction without completely removing it from my diet. Over-ripe bananas have this super delicious sweetness that can help curb that craving so today I've decided to utilise them in this banana blueberry oat slice! Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups rolled oats

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius and line an over tray (or in my case a pie dish), with baking paper.

4. Transfer to the baking dish and garnish with remaining blueberries. Bake for 25 minutes.
