These mini cashew and raspberry oat bites are the perfect healthy treat. Not only are they are a great after-school treat for hungry kids as they're sweetened with fruit alone, they are also vegan and gluten free. No baking is needed making them perfect for a hot summer's day.

Mini cashew raspberry oat bars are a great way to use raspberries

My two younger kids love fresh raspberries. Their big brother isn't a fan of fruit however. 

But I can get him to eat fresh fruit in recipes like crumbles and energy balls.

These cashew and raspberry oat bites are a lovely alternative way of using raspberries. 

Plus, these little bars are dairy free, vegan and free from refined sugar. It doesn't get much healthier than this!

Do you need any special equipment for this recipe?

You will need a food processor* to make these oaty bites.

Perfect for summer

Because there's no cooking needed to make them they're perfect for a hot summer's day. You don't even need to turn the oven on.

Equally good for Valentine's Day

However, they are also lovely for Valentine's Day. The pink colour is stunning when cut into heart shapes rather than bars.

Can you use frozen raspberries?

If you're making these in winter then you can use frozen raspberries. Frozen fruit doesn't process in exactly the same way as fresh. You may need to add a little milk (I used oat milk) to loosen the mixture up.

 You can cut them into hearts for Valentine's Day, or cut them into squares.

    My 5 year old loved these. I added a tablespoon of maple syrup as he has a sweet tooth. Thanks Mandy

    Can these be made using frozen raspberries, or will that mess up the recipe?

      Hi Emma, I would start with half of the raspberries and see how it goes as they can make things a bit wet. I'll try and test it out this week and let you know! Thanks, Mandy

      Hi again Emma, I have done a test of this recipe for you - I put the raspberries in frozen and rather than being too wet it turned out too dry. I added four tablespoons of oat milk and they've turned out perfectly. Let me know if you try them!

      It would save me from a lot of kitchen disasters if I had a chef at home! Have emailed you the cocktail recipe, can't really put it on the blog...
