Apple and blueberry yogurt bars

These apple and blueberry yoghurt bars are almost too good to resist.

Serves:12

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups self raising flour
• ½ cup desiccated coconut
• ½ cup caster sugar
• 1 ¼ cups reduced fat vanilla yogurt
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
• 1 granny smith apple roughly chopped
• 1 x200g punnet blueberries

Method:

1. Whisk flour, coconut and sugar in a bowl to break up any lumps.
2. Whisk yogurt, eggs, oil, vanilla and lemon together in a separate bowl and then fold into the dry ingredients until just combined, taking care not to over-mix.
3. Spread mixture into a lightly greased and baking paper lined 28cm x 18cm slice tin. Press apples and blueberries into the top of the slice. Bake at 180°C for 30-35 minutes until golden and cooked through. Cool for 5 minutes in pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Slice into 12 bars for serving and store in an airtight container until required.
