Ingredients
Makes 20 servings
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
- 500g 0% fat Greek yoghurt
- 4 tbsp clear honey
- 500g oats
- 160g strawberries, chopped
- 1 banana, chopped
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 160g blueberries
- 160g grapes, halved
Method
In a microwavable bowl, add half the Greek yoghurt, honey and vanilla extract. Microwave for 20 seconds on high and stir until smooth.
Take half the oats and blend until finely chopped and it resembles flour.
Add the other half of the oats to the Greek yoghurt mixture and stir. Then slowly add in a little of the oat flour until you get a mixture that can be formed into a crust.
Make 20 egg-shaped disks from the mixture onto the baking paper. Spread a layer of the remaining Greek yoghurt and top with a range of sliced fruit.
Healthy swaps/tips
- Swap out half the oats for some oat flour.
- Why not get the kids involved in decorating and add your favourite fruits?
- You can pre-prepare the "eggs", but keep the yoghurt and the base separate as the yoghurt can make this soggy.
