Tips and Variations
- Choose ripe but firm peaches so the pieces hold their shape after cooking.
- Leave the skins on for extra colour and fibre, or peel the peaches if you want a smoother topping.
- Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
- You can use unsweetened rice milk instead of almond milk in the same amount.
- Add a pinch of ground ginger or nutmeg for a warmer flavour.
- Let the peach mixture cool before layering so it doesn’t start to cook the eggs.
- Chill the bars before slicing for cleaner, firmer pieces.
- Serve a bar with Greek-style yoghurt and fresh fruit for a more filling snack, or enjoy it on its own with tea or coffee.
Meal Storage
Let the peach oat snack bars cool completely before putting them in an airtight container. Store them in the fridge for up to 4 days, with baking paper between layers to stop them sticking together.
Freezer tips
