With juicy apricot and darkish chocolate chunks, this chewy slice is the perfect excuse for a day tea-break.

It is a easy oaty slice utilizing the fabulous mixture of dried apricot and chocolate. It is a one bowl, or on this case saucepan, affair. I wish to make the slice fairly skinny in order that it’s extra chewy than gentle.
If you wish to make this gluten-free, swap the rolled oats for 1 cup quinoa flakes and ½ cup floor almonds, and use a gluten-free flour combine.
