I've been making these for a few years now and they're super-quick and simple. The boys think they’re a great treat, and I know it’s a healthy alternative to biscuits, cake and bread - they'd scoff their way through a bakery if I let them. Use a good quality peanut butter without added sugar.


Ingredients:
225g oats
125g natural peanut butter
2 ripe bananas
½ tsp vanilla essence (optional)
Pinch of salt
Raisins / Chocolate chips (optional)
Method:
Preheat oven to 175⁰C and line a baking tray
Mash the bananas, then add all the other ingredients and mix well until they form a paste.
Drop tablespoon amounts onto the prepared tray and flatten slightly. Bake for appx 15mins, until firm and slightly browned.
Leave to cool on a wire tray. How easy is that!
Enjoy!

Water is a source of life and vitality. As we age our bodies are less able to hold water so our skin sags, our bones become brittle, our hair drier, thinner and frizzy.

Introduced by Portuguese merchants in the 16th century, and adapted over time to suit Japanese tastes, this light bouncy sponge is considered a traditional Japanese speciality. More delicate and airy than a regular sponge cake, castella ( カステラ, kasutera) is famous for a fine and moist crumb.
