Mango, Banana Oatmeal ft The Wild Peanut Chocolatey

THE WILD PEANUT CHOCOLATEY IS THE BAE.
 
Just saying to y'all who haven't tried this peanut butter you have been missing out on life. You know that whole in your heart, well it's this that you have been missing your whole life.
 
And the best way I could ever breakfast is by putting all my favourite sweet goods together into one bowl... and dear ones, here I will show you exactly how to do it Priyanka-style 'fist pumps with a massive grin on her face'.
 


 



My question to you is do you like peanut butter, bananas, chocolate, mangos, breakfast, sunshine, pretty food photos that make you happy?
 
Then a) keep reading... and b) you and I have way to much in common not to be friends


Ingredients:
 
- 1/4 Cup Oats
- 1 tsp. Chia Seeds/ Hemp Seeds
- Water / Soya Milk to cook the oats (or other Non-Diary Milk)
-Cinnamon 
 
 Toppings :
 
- 1/2 coined Banana
- 1 tbsp. of The Wild Peanut Chocolaty
- 1/4 Chopped Mango and pulp  (if unavailable use tinned mangos but these unfortunately usually  have added sugars) 
- Few blueberries
- Desiccated Coconuts
- 3-4 almonds 
 
Method:
 
- Cook your oats as you would, I usually add hemp seeds/ chia seeds, a sprinkle of cinnamon and use soya milk to cook the oats in the microwave for 2 minutes (a minute at a time adding more milk if needed).  Feel free to cook more oats but I thought that the toppings made this a filling breakfast.
 
-When your oatmeal if cooked, chop 1/2 a banana into coins and place on the side of the bowl on top of the oatmeal. Alternatively you can fry bananas with honey in a small frying pan and add this to your oatmeal instead.
 
-Mix up The Wild Peanut Chocolaty with a spoon as the honey, natural oil and peanut usually separate
 
- Add I tsp. of the nut butter and place on the centre of the bowl (remember to lick the spoon of course!)
 
-  Add the mango, almonds, blueberries and coconuts beautifully on top .
 
-Take a snap of your breakfast and tweet it to me/ tag me in your Instagram photo because I would honestly LOVE to see it! 
 
Take a spoon and enjoy the bliss.
 
Now that feels like freedom right?
 
I really hope that you enjoy this recipe and try it out. The one thing that is killing me at the moment is the fact that I can't find anywhere that sells The Wild Peanut near me. Asda used to but for some crazy reason they stopped.... I think they wanted to act in my best interest to kill my addiction because it was getting pretty unhealthy anyways...
 
Let me know how you like your chocolate peanut butter and any of your favourite breakfast recipes would be appreciated in the comments below!

Browned Paleo Banana Coconut Cookie Recipe

 
Overly sweet tooth like me? In need for chocolate? Want to become a cookie monster without the 'unhealthy' feel?
 
Dear ones, join me.
 
I accept that my cooking skills are not perfect and that these cookies are a little over browned but doesn't mean that they taste bad at all!
 
To make these quick and easy yummies, you will need:
 
- 2 Bananas
- 1/2 Cup Ground Flax Seeds
-1/2 Cup Shredded Coconut
-1/3 Cup Hemp Seeds
-5/6 Dried Dates roughly chopped
-2 Heaped Tbs Honey
 (more or less depending on your preference; you can also sub any other sweetener)
- 4 Squares Dark Chocolate (I used Lindt 85%) Chopped
-1/2 Tsp Cinammon
-1 Tsp Nut Butter
-2 Tbs Olive Oil/ Coconut Oil
 
Method:
 
- Preheat the oven to 200 °c
 
-Line an oven tray with tin foil and spread with olive oil to prevent cookies from sticking to the foil
 
- Mash the bananas (TIP: Peel and warm the bananas for 40-50 seconds to make mashing them up easier) and mix flax and hemp seeds, coconuts, oil, cinnamon, honey and nut butter together in a large bowl.
 
-Allow to cool a little before gently stirring in the dark chocolate chips and chopped dates
 
- Place mixture on the foil and press into cookie shapes
 
-Bake in over for 6-10 minutes
 
TIP: To prevent over burning keep checking the cookies and take out of the oven before it goes too brown , pretty self  explanatory but I always seem to find the simple things in life too straight forward.
 
I ate my cookies with hot almond milk hot chocolate whilst I watched Vampire Diaries like a typical girl on a typical Friday night.
 
Let me know if you know if you liked this recipe and any variations you may have made.

Bannana, Mango Nut Oatmeal


Breakkkfassttting with Priyanka once again!
 
Oh yeah baby (I know you love it).
 
Life couldn't get better with a stack of mangos/ mango puree in my fridge. Literally, all week I have been jumping out of bed (which is very difficult since its pitch black every morning) excited to eat my mango filled breakfasts.
 
Here is a way I have been loving to incorporate my favourite fruit into my first meal.
 
Banana, Mango Nut Oatmeal:
 
-1 Tbsp. Oats (you can cook as much oats if you usually do)
-1 Tbsp. Chia Seeds
- 4-5 Chopped Slices of Mango
- 1 Small Handful of Blueberries
- 1/2 Banana
- 1 Tsp. Pumpkin Seeds
- 1 Tsp. chopped almonds
 
If you want to be really cheeky like I was this week add a heaped Tbs of CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER. I found one from Asda called The Wild Peanut Chocolatey which has honey and no added sugar so therefore is 'clean' to eat.
 
- Cook the oats with chia seeds in the microwave/ hob
- Place the chopped mangos in the centre of the oatmeal and coined banana slices around the edge
- Add you toppings; chocolate peanut butter/ chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds and blueberries on top.
 
There are so many variations of this breakfast you could try. I've had my mango oatmeal with healthy sweet potato brownie chunks on top and oh it's delishhh.....
 
Let me know how you like your morning oatmeal so I can test them out in my own kitchen.
