I have a handwritten recipe for cranberry and oat slices that I must have copied down when at a friend a long time ago. If it had been done in the past two years I would have made a note from where I copied it, as I do not want to copy other people’s recipes without acknowledging where they are from. However, I have been looking for a perfect before breakfast snack for some time, and I was hoping this was it. Given that I don’t read a recipe until I start the process of actually making it, I expected the slices to be crunchy, but, as the recipe contains eggs, what you get is a cake like slice of pure breakfast delight. I ate two before they had cooled down and if I were to try these again I may just substitute the dried fruit for some dried cherries and even add some nuts. If this recipe is yours, please let me know, so that I can thank you properly on my blog.
Rereading this post 9 years down the line I realize I have never made these again!

Yum!!! that looks so tasty Tandy…thank you
they made a great breakfast for the whole week!
I quickly put the recipe through Google and only your blog came up, so it must have been from someone’s personal recipe 🙂

Hi Tandy – these sound like a good alternative to breakfast which I don’t normally eat & which I must now start doing. Have a lovely holiday.
HI Dawn! I am also not a good breakfast eater and will usually eat what ever is closest to hand when I get hungry in the morning. Have a great weekend 🙂
Hi Tandy, these are ideal for Jess, I will make the substitutions that you have and use some slivered almonds to boost the protein for her.
Thanks for sharing this.
Hugs. xx
hugs to you too – let me know how they go and what Jess thinks of them. I will also make variations soon xxx
