Chocolate Weetabix Muffins

Sunday, 24 May 2015

The thing I miss most when trying to eat clean and healthy is always cake. I love nothing more than a slice of cake or a muffin with a cup of tea, that's my idea of heaven!

So you can only imagine how thrilled I was when I discovered this Weetabix chocolate muffin recipe! With no flour or butter it's a healthier alternative but still satisfies that craving for cake!

What you'll need (to make 5 muffins) :

2 Weetabix
1 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Tbsp Sweetener
2 eggs
1/2 Muller Light Toffee yoghurt

Method:

Pre-heat the oven to 180c

Use a blender to blend the two Weetabix to a very fine powder.

Add the rest of the ingredients to the blender and blend until the mixture is very smooth.

Pour the mixture into 5 muffin cases/tray and bake for 25 mins

Place on a rack and leave to cool. Finally, top with Nutella and banana!

Peanut Butter Energy Bites - No Baking Required!

Monday, 4 May 2015

I love to snack, especially at work, and these peanut butter energy bites are perfect for on-the-go or even as a pre-gym bite to give you a little boost!

What you'll need:

115g creamy peanut butter
60ml honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
150g old-fashioned oats (raw)
Chocolate chips (as many or few as you like)

Method (10 mins):

Add your peanut butter and oats to a bowl, mix in the honey and vanilla extract, finally adding the choc chips at the end.

Either roll small amounts of the mix into balls like I did or you can spread it across a baking tray lined with baking paper to make energy bars.

Once prepared, place the balls or bars in the fridge and leave to set. I usually make these at night so they set overnight and are good to go in the morning!
