Oaty Sweetened Condensed Milk Slice

Hi All,

Thought I'd share my 10-20 minute sanity saver for the days where I've completely forgotten to bake anything for school lunches and it's getting late in the morning.  I found a variation of this recipe on the internet one day, while trying to work out what on earth to do with almost an entire tin of sweetened condensed milk left over.  And it only takes a couple minutes to prepare.

The ingredients are as follows:

• 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
• 50gm melted butter
• 3 cups rolled oats

Optional extras:

• 1 cup coconut (they're always best with this added)
• 1 cup sultanas, raisins or other dried fruit
• Zest of one lemon or orange

Simply mix all of the above in a bowl, press into a greased and lined 20x20cm baking dish and bake at 180 degrees Celcius for around 10-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top and around the edges.

Perfectly cooked

I like to ice mine with a layer of plain or lemon flavoured icing.  The kids love them, and you can add pretty much anything you find in store-bought muesli bars.

Love to all,
Mama Fern
