Make it: Banana and Oat Bites

It's Bank Holiday Monday here in the UK and I am having a bit of a rest day - It's been a busy summer so far and so it is well needed.  Usually this means I like to bake at some point and so I thought I would give these Banana and Oat Bites a go that I found in the Sainsbury's Magazine - plus they so so simple to make.

You will need:
Mash 2 ripe Bananas
60g Porridge Oats
30g Apple sauce
1tsp Ground Cinnamon

Put your oven onto 180C, if it's a fan oven put it to 160C or Gas mark 4.  Put all the ingredients into a bowl and mash up the banana until it's all mixed together.  This will only make a small batch of about 8 and so if you need more you can scale up the mixture for your desired amount.

Then add desert spoon sized blobs onto a baking sheet and pop into the oven for 18-20 minutes until golden.

Take them out and wait for them to cool a little and then devour!  When they first come out of the oven they are crunchy on the top but when they have cooled completely they are a bit more chewy.  Let's face it they are not the same as having a big old cookie, but they are pretty good (as long as you like bananas) and a healthier version too.

They also go brilliantly with a cup of tea - with the looks of this weather, I think it's a day for cosy food and warm tea!

Have a great Monday, whether you are on a Bank Holiday or not.

Link for the week: Epic Banana Loaf Recipe

This weeks link is a foodie one thanks to my friend Kate and Mary Berry. A group of us from my old crowd of friends got together for Sunday lunch yesterday and for fun we all bought a different pudding .We had Apple Crumble, Banoffee Pie and Chocolate & an epic Banana loaf! It was AMAZING!  and apparently very easy to make, so I thought I would share it with all you lovely people as this weeks link. 

Please do let me know if you made it and liked it, or if there are any other recipes we should try out for next time.  I am trying to perfect my gingerbread men biscuits at the moment, so any fail-safe recipes would be gratefully appreciated!
