OATS are among the healthiest grains on the earth. They're a gluten-free whole grain and a great source of important vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants. Some of the health benefits from eating oats are that they help weight loss, lower blood sugar levels and can help reduce the risk of heart disease.

PEANUT BUTTER provides an excellent amount of protein, along with essential vitamins and minerals, like magnesium, potassium and zinc.

BANANAS are plentiful in the vitamin B6, bananas are also a good source of vitamin C and dietary fibre. Bananas are also fat-free and cholesterol free.

Remember though, the three above are all good for you, but in moderation/daily allowance!

INGREDIENTS

150g / ½ cup oats

4 tbsp peanut butter (100% peanuts)

3 medium ripe bananas (the riper the better)

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat your oven 190ºc / 170º fan / 375F

Place the porridge oats in a food processor and blend for a few seconds until finely ground

Using a fork or the back of a spoon slightly flatten each one to about the size of a digestive biscuit, try and make sure that all cookies are the same thickness so that they all bake evenly

Once baked remove from the oven and carefully pace on a cooling rack to cool

The cookies taste at there best within hours of being made, but will last up to 5 days in an airtight container
