Do you cook cakes and slices for your lunchbox?

My house is currently filled with the aroma of a freshly baked slice - yum! I try and bake at least one cake, loaf or slice a week to pack into lunchboxes for the week. I find they are a healthy alternative to packing chips or shop bought biscuits covered in chocolate.
At the moment my oat and sultana slice is cooling so I can cut it up. What healthy slice is your favourite? Or would you prefer to take a cake or a muffin?

That sounds delightful!
I had not thought about baking a
cake versus store bought chips and such.
But it does make sense.
And you get to control the sugar levels
and add fresh ingredients.
I like that idea!
Makes me wish my oven was working!
I have a mini oven that is big enough
for small cakes and muffins, but nothing
too big. I might try a mini-loaf out.

I try and cook cakes and slices but as soon as i do the kids get there hands on them and there all gone. I make shortbread from scratch which the kids will take in there lunchboxes and ill also make some for the cookie jar. Slices i try and do some with different types of dried fruits. Also like making flapjacks but there kids arnt really keen on them.
