I really liked the blueberry banana porridge squares that I made before using a recipe from Livia's Kitchen. They're such a great breakfast and snack that I decided to make them again with other fruits. Mango banana goji berry this time.
These were a really big hit with my family. They coined them Sunshine Slices because mango banana goji berry slices was too much of a mouthful to say. Quite an appropriate name because they came out of the oven with a really vibrant golden colour like slices of sunshine.
These porridge squares or oat slices (whatever you prefer to call them) are a great way of getting some extra fruit in your diet. Mangoes are an extremely popular fruit in Australia with it's sweet, juicy, nectary taste and like all fruits, they come with a plethora of health benefits.
Vitamin C is needed for collagen formation, a protein that gives your skin the nice youthful spring and keeps your blood vessels stretchy. Vitamin C also helps with iron absorption which is needed in the formation of red blood cells to carry oxygen around the body.
Ingredients (30 small slices)
- 300 g oats
- 1 medium banana
- 1 large mango (~ 240g)
- 30 g goji berries (~2 tbsp)
- 225ml milk
- 20 g honey (~1 tbsp)
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
Method:
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Place oats in a food processor and process until it is a fine flour and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Puree the banana, flesh of the mango and 1 tbsp of goji berries in the food processor. Add the pureed fruit to the mixing bowl. (Depending on how big your food processor is you may have to puree the fruits individually).
- Add the milk, the remaining tbsp of goji berries (left whole), and honey to the bowl and mix everything until well combined.
- Pour the batter into a lined/greased baking tray and sprinkle coconut on top
- Bake for 16-18 minutes or until firm to the touch. Allow to cool before slicing.
