I made this chocolate chip oat slice recipe just using ingredients from the cupboard this week because it's a broke week! This slice is a bit muesli bar, a bit choc chip cookie, a bit ANZAC slice. The kids have loved it so far, so I'll definitely make it again. It's a great way to use up your oats and it just uses basics from your pantry.

Nothing fancy needed. It will last in an airtight container in your pantry for at least a week (if the kids don't eat it all first!) and is perfect for lunch boxes and after school snacks. It's filling and full of oats, with not too much sugar, and school safe with not nuts. You can choose to use dark, milk or even white chocolate chips, depending of your preference. If you enjoy a salted flavour you can crack some extra salt over the top (that's what I've done here because I love it!)
