Healthy Baking- Protein Cookies

So today I embarked on my first healthy bake. I'm not really too sure I can call them cookies, they're more of a flapjack wanna be!

They don't look pretty, but they taste good, make a nice post workout or afternoon snack, and can be thrown together in no time...No excuses to reach for the chocolate now! 

Makes 6 flapjack wanna be's 

Ingredients- 

100g Porridge oats

45g Smooth Peanut butter (Or your favourite nut butter) 

1 Banana

1 Scoop Protein Powder (I used Skinni Minni- Choco loco)

1 Egg

Milk- Splash, enough to make the mixture stir-able) 

Method- 

1) Preheat the oven to 180C and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.

2) Mash up the banana until there are no big lumps.

3) Add the banana and the rest of the ingredients to a bowl and mix together.

4) Spoon the mixture onto the baking tray and bake in the oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until cooked through.

5) Munch! 

Healthy Baking

I've been thinking that it's about time I tried out some more healthy bakes. Although I will always be permanently scarred by the courgette muffins I lovely failed to create, I think I'm in a good enough place to try again, and maybe I'll even reach for the courgette again!...

I recently came across a recipe for beetroot brownies, and although the other ingredients don't put them in the healthy category I still want to give them a go- Especially as we've been given beetroot in our veg box this week, and as we both hate the stuff it seems like a good way to try and use it.

I've also been going some googling on recipes that include protein powder, as an extra way to get more protein into my diet, I came across a few that I like the sound of, but I think I'll try and create some of my own...Watch this space!

For those lucky people who aren't on that dreaded pre summer/holiday diet I've also got a few other recipes up my sleeve so keep checking back.

Lastly, if anyone has a particular recipe they want and can't find anywhere let me know and I'll do my best to get one together for you :)
