Drizzled with a yogurt and white chocolate glaze, these chewy and hearty Oat Crunchies beat granola bar hands down. If breakfast is not a grab and go occasion, you can serve these with a bowl of fresh fruit, yogurt and honey on the side.
These great-tasting oat crunchies are a must for any family household! They hit the spot if you are craving a sweet treat but want to still keep it on the healthy side with some oats, coconut, sunflower seeds and Greek yogurt in the mix. Oats are a high-fibre carbohydrate, which means they’ll keep you feeling fuller for longer.
The oat crunchies also make for a perfect afternoon snack (with a cup of tea, of course!) and are really easy to whip up with only 15 minutes of prep time before they bake to golden perfection in the oven.
The most difficult thing about this recipe is waiting for the crunchies to cool!
They are also very adaptable for the more health-conscious among us: Add some raisins or dried fruit such as apricots and blueberries. You could also turn this into the perfect gluten-free snack by replacing the flour in the recipe with gluten-free flour.
