Wholesome Bites, Happy Tummies
Our banana oat finger cakes are soft, gently flavoured, and packed with real nutrition from simple, natural ingredients. They’re designed especially for little ones aged 12 months and up, making them ideal for lunchboxes, picnics, or an easy grab-and-go snack at home.
We use ripe bananas for natural sweetness, wholegrain oats for sustained energy, and a splash of rapeseed oil for healthy fats. The result is a cake that’s moist, fluffy, and toddler-approved, without relying on refined sugar, added salt, or artificial flavours.
