1. Christmas Banana Oat Cookies
Ingredients:
• 2 overripe bananas
• +-3/4 cup of oats
• Anything else you would like to add such as cranberries, nuts, seeds, chopped up dried fruit, etc.
• Any spice such as cinnamon, ginger, etc.
Method:
Mash the bananas up, add the oats and everything else then mix together. Line a baking tray with baking paper and scoop the mixture onto the baking tray with a spoon into balls. Bake at 180 degrees for about 12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden.
What I used: I used cranberries, cinnamon, chia seeds and nuts – perfect for a mid-morning snack as the chia seeds add some protein!

3. Banana raspberry flapjacks topped with frozen yoghurt
Ingredients:
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp of flour
• 1 banana
• Cinnamon (Optional)
• Raspberries (Optional)
Method:
Mash the banana and whisk the egg, add together. Then, add the dry ingredients. Once mixed through, add some raspberries. Fry on a medium heat in a saucepan.
Tip:
If you would like more protein, substitute the flour for another egg. You don’t need to add flour in it at all and it tastes just as good!
How to make the frozen yoghurt:
Freeze your favourite yoghurt for a minimum of 4 hours, we used vanilla yoghurt. Add your favourite topping and enjoy!

This is another photo of the banana flapjacks, except I divided the batter into 4 smaller flapjacks and I topped it with raspberries, melted dark chocolate and cinnamon.
