Best banana-maple-peanut butter soft cookies {vegan, gf}


My friends, I will be brief on this fine day. I have honed you this highly delicious recipe and I hope dearly that you will love me forever for making the rest of your life - previously a dark, banana cookie-less, dry landscape - so deliciously moist, nutty, and chocolaty. Yes. I am going to give you this recipe and then go and attempt to do my haematology lab. I am, for a short time, solo in my accommodation as everyone has gone home and my flight leaves later this week. I am reallyyy loving it BUT  I found yesterday I was really just eating all day and that's BAD. I finished a tub of halotop mint chip (I LOVE MINT CHIP, IT IS MY FAVOURITE FLAVOUR EVERRR), half a batch of these cookies... oh well. I did enjoy them. :) Today, at least, I did some LOVELY power yoga, a bums & tums class, and made a bowl of many delicious green things which I will post in a What-I-eat-in-a-day ASAP as it included something v greek and v delicious. Also rolled around in grassy bit near house and got a wet bum. x Enjoy your days, sweethearts! Its a gorgeous one :) 








Best Banana-Maple-Peanut Butter Soft Cookies
Ingredients:
1/2 cup maple syrup (you can reduce this. I didn't really want to lol as I felt like v sweet ones :)
1/2 cup nut butter
A generous splash (up to 3 tablespoons) olive oil {add more if you desire an even softer cookie}
1 banana
1 & 1/2 cups oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 phat dark squares of choc, chopped up small (chunks or bunks, boyz. Its your choice)

Method:
1. Mash that banana, baby. In the same bowl, mix in the maple, nut butter, and olive oil until a smooth mixture is formed.
2. Dump in the dry ingredients, and mix away until everything is assimilated.
3. Mix in dem choc chips. Mmm.
4. Sample batter surreptitiously, then remember no one is there to tell you off and eat a big spoon of it.
5. Spoon into about 7 or 8 big cookie blobs, and pop in the 180 C oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden. YUM.
{taste significantly better when cooled. I'm sorry. yet synonymously, i am not suggesting they taste anything other than fantastic when they are so hot they burn ur tongue.)

Enjoy! xox

Chocolate-orange frozen bananas

I don't really have any chocolate recipes on this blog yet. It's high time, friends. Let's stuff our faces. Whenever these babies are in the fridge, I just can't stop myself. Well I can, really, but I don't want to. They're so simple they make me wanna CRY because I can legit make them in 5 minutes and then eat them immediately, or freeze them to make 'em like ice cream. I kid you not. The chocolate is orangey and silky against the creaminess of the banana, and taste excellent in quick succession. Very quick succession. But I'm sure they don't mind. Mmm, summer continues to be delicious. Today the sea was so wild and beautifully moody, and I watched it stormily from my room as I sat on my ass and studied. I had this romantic vision of me going down to the beach across from my house with a cute sweater all pulled over my knuckles, a good book in my chipped-nail-varnish tumblr hands, and a thermos of hot black tea. But lol I tried to

Sexy green smoothie bowl

This smoothie bowl is very sexy. What's more sexy than fruit? This smoothie is soo fresh and so revitalizing and makes your skin feel all lovely and burn-y, like cold fire. I plopped the smoothie on top of overnight oats with lots of frozen berries (off-camera, I was stuffin my face with the butes) and walnuts and coconut and orange zest and chia. UGH SO GOOD!! But you can even eat it alone :) Me and my sisters chilled with my lil brother today. We fingerpainted and he got really frustrated and stuck his little rainbow-painted fist on every possible surface, including our legs. He's still adorable when he's mad though. Sometimes I feel sad that we don't get to see him all the time, but it's okay. I love him with all my heart and I see him whenever I can. Such is life with a patchwork family. Drink (eat?) this smoothie and even though its a small thing,  life's problems seem more surmountable. I'm still young enough that food can fix things.

Strawberry, coconut & banana popsicles

Image
Boy, do I love a good popsicle. And these, my friends, tick all my boxes.  They are icy and delicious and fresh and perfect for summer. Also no sugar and no bad stuff, so I can eat the whole tray, right? This is the fun part of being vegan. I can eat a freaking HUGE bowl of salad with yummy dressing and hummus on the side and feel totally satiated and happy and not overfull. I'm not saying this in a TEEHEE I CAN'T HELP IT I'M SO HEALTHY (Laura Miller TM. I love her so much) way but in more of a I LIKE TO STUFF MY FACE HOW CAN I DO IT WHILE STILL BEING ABLE TO FIT THROUGH DOOR. Ya know? Anyway. These are popsicles. So like frozen strawberry salad. They were gone so fast, I didn't even have time to say "I love you." When I was little, there was a fridge in our big garage next to our yellow house, and it always contained popsicles. Green ones that tasted like lime, blue ones that tasted of blue, cola ones, and my most favouri
