Lunch box recipes don’t come any quicker or easier than this yummy Oat & Milo Slice! Simply melt, mix and bake… too simple!! This will become a family favourite in no time!
Do you know what I really love? Like really, really love? A no-fuss, super easy recipe that tastes awesome. See, I’m a simple girl at heart!! But seriously, for me to make a recipe over and over again, it’s got to tick those 3 boxes. And this Milo Slice my friends, ticks ALL of those boxes and so many more.
This slice is a variation on my classic ANZAC slice… but with Milo. Yep that’s right. Milo! The queen of all things delicious.
And you know what else is really fab? This slice honestly takes 5 minutes to prepare – just melt, mix and That. Is. It.
Totally, totally my kinda slice.
This Milo Slice is made from pantry staples which means that you can stop reading this right now… go to your cupboard and fridge… whip it up… and be eating it in 30 minutes from now. How awesome is that!? Yay, yay… triple yay for easy slice recipes.
PS. Speaking of Milo… have you made my 4 ingredient Milo Balls yet?? Yummity-yum-yum-yum!!

Could i please ask what MILO is please ? Thank you
Hi Dorothy, it’s a brand of malted milk powder that you can buy in Australia (you can use any brand though!). xx
Milo /ˈmaɪloʊ/ is a chocolate and malt powder that is mixed with hot or cold water or milk to produce a beverage popular mainly in Australia and New Zealand and some other parts of the world. Produced by Nestlé, Milo was originally developed by Thomas Mayne in Sydney, Australia in 1934.
Making this today for a lunchbox filler. Thank you for including weights for the ingredients, it makes my cooking so much quicker and less clean up.
My pleasure! xx
Making this now for my grandson for school. I’m sure though his mum, grandfather and myself will be having some as well. Thank you.
Hi Ann, I hope you all enjoy it! xx
Hi what can you replace the coconut with?
Hi Joanna, personally I wouldnt recommend replacing it, but if you have to, I’d add a little extra plain flour. xx
Hi, my son is very fussy, do u think this recipe would work if I blitz the oats in the processor before I add them so he can’t see them??
Hi Nat, that should be fine! xx
