Today is World Porridge Day! Luckily for me, I love oats. I find them so filling and satisfying so I can actually go through the whole morning without snacking. Plus, you can make it as personal and be as creative as you want with toppings! And it takes less than 5 minutes to make!
Flapjacks: the buttery, sweet and yummy treat made with very few ingredients which pack in a lot of calories! Our waistlines need to watch out when it comes to flapjacks because they are extremely moreish. Stereotypical flapjacks are made of oats, melted butter and golden syrup and they are then baked until golden and although oats are beneficial to health, heapings of butter and golden syrup are not. I absolutely love flapjacks and have been wanting to create a healthy version of flapjacks for a long time. I have finally created a recipe which satisfies those flapjack cravings!
Wanting a sweet snack without any artificial sugar and packed full of protein? You've come to the right place. This deliciously soft and fluffy banana bread is the perfect snack for you and it can be made and baked in under an hour.
What you need:
- 4 mashed bananas
- 1 cup of oats
- 1 cup of plain flour
- 4 scoops of banana protein powder
- 6 egg whites
- 5 teaspoons of apple sauce
- 10 teaspoons of sweetener
- 2 teaspoons of baking soda
- 2 teaspoons of chia seeds
First set your oven to 190 degrees Celsius.
Mash up 4 bananas (the riper the better!)
Add all the dry ingredients (excluding the chia seeds) to the mashed banana and mix.
Then add the remaining ingredients (still excluding the chis seeds) and mix thoroughly.
When completely mixed, pour the mixture into a loaf tin.
Then sprinkle the chia seeds onto the top of the mixture.
Bake for 40 minutes, ensuring that when a knife is inserted into the middle of the loaf, it comes out clean and without any unbaked mixture.
Allow to fully cool then tuck in!
