Cheese & Onion Oat Bites

Kind of like a savoury flapjack, sounds an odd combo but trust me it tastes awesome! Great as a snack or even as a grab and go breakfast. Packed full of slow release carbs and magnesium from the oats, vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, vitamin B8 and folate from the carrots, bit of protein from the eggs and cheese and you have a great all round healthy snack.
