A great lunchbox filler, this oat slice – created by food science & technology teacher Mrs Leon Rogers was the most requested recipe from parents at St Norbert College Open Day and is on the menu every day in the school canteen. Despite its name, there are no oats in the buttery, chunky, fruit and seed slice – so named because it resembles a muesli bar.
