Healthy Snack Recipe: 4-Ingredient Banana Oat Bars Recipes from The Kitchn

Healthy Snack Recipe: 4-Ingredient Banana Oat Bars Recipes from The Kitchn
Bananas are an amazing fruit. All by themselves they can turn into creamy, delicious ice cream, and eaten alone they are a satisfying snack. But they also do wonders in baked goods: Bananas take the place of sugar, eggs and fat in these wondrously chewy, yummy snack bars. These bars have no added sugar, you can whip them up in just a few minutes, and they'll take care of breakfast, after-school snacks, and dessert. Amazing? You bet. These bars come from my brilliant friend Ginger, who got the recipe from her friend, and she can now make these literally in her sleep. • See Ginger's recipe: Banana-Oatmeal Bars at Friesen Cold. • Ginger and her husband are also the creators of MealBaby, a great site for sharing meal sign-ups and registries - check it out! I added a few more things to Ginger's original four-ingredient recipe. These optional ingredients all add a little extra dimension, but the essential recipe is still really just four ingredients: Bananas, oats, dates, and chopped nuts. Related:  petit dej

Banana Granola On page 113 in our book we have written a story about the old wooden dinner table in our living room. We rarely eat on it. Instead we have covered it with heave stone tiles and use it to shoot food on. I have always felt a bit sorry for our table (it is worthy of a better life), but now I feel even worse. A while back, one of its legs broke as I balanced on it trying to take a shot from above. I wish I could tell you that the table is the only thing in our apartment that is in need of fixing. That is perhaps why we only take close ups of food. Don’t get me wrong, our apartment has charming high ceilings, old wooden floors and beautiful windows. I often blame it on time, why I haven’t fixed all the things that needs fixing. I’ll fix that table some other day. I have almost reached the end of this post and I haven’t even started talking about this granola yet. Banana Granola Preheat the oven 400°F / 200°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.

Cupboard Love - mklutz - Teen Wolf Chapter Text It’s Scott who convinces Stiles to put the ad in the paper. Stiles is doing a combined five year bachelors and masters, so his class schedule doesn’t exactly fit in around most of the part time jobs he could get on campus and to be fair, he’s pretty crap at making coffee anyway. He’s gotten pretty good at cooking, though, since his mom passed away. Plus, Stiles needs the money for all that coffee he’s so bad at making. All of that is to say, though, that Stiles has been debating for a week about taking out a line of credit to fund his meagre student lifestyle when he gets the phone call. “I need a week’s worth of meals I can heat up and I don’t like spicy food,” says the man on the other end instead of hello. “Uh, hi to you, too,” Stiles says, fumbling for a seat on a nearby bench and maybe a loose notebook and pen in his backpack. “Yes,” His mystery client grits out, sounding frustrated. “And you don’t like spicy stuff, yeah I got that part. “Lunches, dinners. “Hardly.

Oat and Almond Pancakes I have been a little wary of pancakes lately. Oftentimes, our pancakes turn out to be rather dense which in turn is a bit heavy on your stomach, especially when eating them for breakfast. But pancakes are an important aspect of life so we had to find a satisfying recipe. However, these pancakes were quite fluffy while being rather satisfying at the same time. We made our own almond flour resulting in a few crunchy bits in the pancakes, which can be a little unexpected in a fluffy pancake, but as long as you're reassured by your sister (or whoever) that the crunchy bits are supposed to be there you'll feel a lot better about them. Ingredients1 cup of whole wheat flour1/4 cup of oats2 tablespoons of sugar3 teaspoons of baking powder1/2 teaspoon of salt1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon3 tablespoons of almond flour1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract1 1/4 cup of almond milk 1 tablespoon of applesauceDirectionsMix dry ingredients together then add in wet ingredients.

Beef bourguignon recipe Heat the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over medium–high heat. Brown the beef in batches. Remove the final batch of beef from the pan, leaving the oil, and add the carrot, celery, leek, onion and shallots. Sauté for 5–8 minutes. Place the beef and vegetables in a large baking dish. Meanwhile, prepare the carrot puree by boiling the carrots with salt until just soft. To make the mashed potatoes, boil them whole with salt until soft. Add the mushrooms and carrot puree to the bourguignon and cook for a further 10 minutes. Serve the bourguignon with the mashed potatoes and sourdough.

Banoffee Parfait au caramel de datte { 100% végétal } J'ai vu cette recette ici même il y a 2 jours. Moi qui étais en panne d'inspiration depuis la semaine dernière, ma patience et mes recherches ont finalement prévalu sur ma récente déception de dégustation de porridge. Je ne me fais pas à l'idée d'être écoeurée par les porridges ( que j'ai pourtant quotidiennement varié ). J'espère que mon envie reviendra bien vite car je me suis tant régalée qu'il m'apparait presque inconcevable de dire, écrire et même penser que j'en aurais peut-être juste trop mangé !? Ce Parfait au caramel de datte ( car la magie opère à cet instant précis ) porte véritablement très bien son nom. J'ai quelque peu ajusté ( veut dire ici " véganisé " ) la recette à la composition de mes placards ( mes stocks from France commencent à s'étioler ... ), aux diktats de mon estomac ( qui est parfois très exigent mais surtout demandeur ) et à ma profonde envie de cocooning ( ahhh ... les matins ... ). Comment lisez-vous les articles ? - 3 grosses dattes Medjool - 1 pincée de sel

Simple Tomato Soup with Balsamic Vinegar Growing up I ate a lot of condensed tomato soup and grilled cheese. To this day it is such a comfort food to me. My mom always made it with a combination of milk and water and I love the creamy counterpart to the acidity of the tomatoes. What I didn’t realize was how much sugar was in there. Most tomato soup recipes I have found call for sugar. Recipe notes: I stir creme fraiche into individual bowls for the creamy flavor. Ingredients 6 cups water 2 – 6 oz. cans tomato paste 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (or to taste) 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder black pepper to taste 5 teaspoons balsamic vinegar creme fraiche, sour cream or cream for serving Directions In a medium sauce pan bring water to a simmer. To serve, fill bowls and add a tablespoon of creme fraiche, sour cream or cream and stir through.

Raw Buckwheat Porridge De Luxe We did it again … survived another winter in Sweden! Okay, I realize that we are only in the beginning of February, so it is technically still winter for at least another month. But it feels like we are on our way towards spring now. The sun is visiting Stockholm a few more minutes every day. And the birds are returning! We have been making a lot of different varieties of warm porridge to fight off those cold winter mornings. One of the keys to optimal health is to have a good digestion system. I make this raw porridge by soaking buckwheat groats and walnuts overnight and then blending them with apple, orange juice and cardamom. TO-GO!

Gingerbread Shake Just because we came up with a delicious 3-minute Gingerbread Shake that literally tastes like Christmas in glass, doesn’t mean that you should skip the whole holiday baking bonanza and just drink this shake everyday for the next three weeks. It really doesn’t. Don’t even start thinking about it. Actually, it is perhaps better if you forgot about this shake already. Damn, now you are thinking about trying it? Move on with your life.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and Oat Milk Some languages have really fabulous words describing very complex feelings or ideas that we just don't have in English. Ones that strike me are: Forelsket: (Danish) The euphoric feeling felt while falling in love. Meraki: (Modern Greek) Describes doing something with all your heart, soul, and love - often used to describe preparing food or decorating. Waldeinsamkeit: (German) A word to describe the feeling of being alone in the wilderness. Hygge: (Danish) Hard to describe, but means something along the lines of an “ absence of anything annoying or emotionally overwhelming, and the presence of comforting and calming things”. And finally Mottainai: (Japanese) Can be used as a expression when something useful, often food, is wasted. The idea of mottainai was the driving force behind this post. I have made my fair share of nuts milks before: almond, brazil, sesame, pecan, etc, etc. Oat Milk: After the oats have soaked, rinse them under running water to get off any of the starchy residue.
