Why You'll Love This Easy Kids Snack

Delicious oat biscuits with raisins and cinnamon often pop back up in my kitchen as soon as we hit September and the children go back to school.

The little oaty biscuit, dotted with raisins and flavoured with cinnamon are a very popular addition to lunchboxes.

A nice filling oat and raisin biscuit - ideal for seeing your little ones through a busy afternoon of school work and oh so perfect with a glass of icy cold milk.

As the oat biscuits cook the smell of cinnamon wafts from the kitchen. I always think cinnamon has a homely comforting smell and reminds me of being a tiny girl sat in my grandmas kitchen watching her bake.
