Small batch oat cookies
A small batch of healthy oat cookies for when you want a fresh small batch (cus let’s face it fresh is best) but you don’t want to spend lots of ingredients on a big batch or the temptation for days after, then these are a good option.
Made with healthy high fiber ingredients plus some protein too and you can add dark chocolate as well, it’s very easy to customise them to your needs.
Recipe (makes 3)
-20g oats
-15g plant protein (can sub for flour & adjust the sweetness)
-1/8 tsp baking powder
-1 Tbspn coconut sugar
-9g coconut oil/butter
-7g peanut butter/or other nut butter
-30ml water/milk of choice
optional: spices, choc chips, dried fruit
Note: depending on your brand of protein powder you may need an extra teaspoon of water/liquid
Directions
-Pre-heat the oven to 140c fan
Mix together the dry ingredients, melt the oil and other wet ingredients together then add this to the dry mix and stir. Shape into 3 small cookies
-Bake for 9-10 mins
Omega 3 & magnesium rich brownie energy balls
Does what it says on the tin! These energy balls are not only a great, natural source of energy but also use ingredients high in omega 3 fats and magnesium, so you can nourish yourself while feeding a craving.
For the healthy fats/omegas I used ingredients such as walnuts, chia and hemp protein, you can also add shelled hemp seeds as a topping too if you like plus dark chocolate which not many people know can be a good source of magnesium. Brands will differ due to which one you choose & also how dark regarding the chocolate coating. A basic cacao powder will be high and the one I used per 100g has around 166% of RDA magnesium (thought the RDA will differ between men & women). A few squares of 85% dark choc can be a good portion of your RDA ticked off too so I used both in this recipe. Chia seeds & cashews also contain magnesium.
Protein yogurt cookie dough bowl
This healthy plant protein, cookie dough bowl is high in fiber and high in protein with dark chocolate for a bit of indulgence, plus it’s much better than store bought and great for after a workout!
You can also smoosh this together into one big serving rather than rolling into individual bits
Made using healthy, natural ingredients plus if you use a probiotic yogurt then it’s good for your gut too.
Note: This won’t work with whey protein as its not as absorbent as plant protein so it wont bind
