Almost-Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I've called these cookies "almost-healthy" as they are healthy... almost. They're dairy and gluten free and don't contain all that much sugar, as long as we ignore the chocolate chips. 

But, they do still taste pretty good. The oats are ground down to a powder, but still add a nice texture and almost fool ya into thinking you're tucking into a good ole fashioned oatmeal-choc chip cookie. Clever, right? 

Fat Brownies

If you make one thing from my blog ever. Make these.

If you make one thing this year at all. Please, make it these. 

Promise they'll be worth while.

They're a simple mix of everything good in this world, conveniently placed together in one beautiful brownie.

Start with a chewy brownie base. Spread over some marshmallow fluff and a few chopped up snickers bars. Top the whole thing off with peanut butter + chocolate rice crispy treats. Enjoy. 

You'll want to eat another, but may have to wait a while, these things are serious.

Ingredients:
One box brownie mix (you can use my recipe here, or your own favourite of course)
3/4 tub Marshmallow Fluff (213g tub, approx.)

4 Snickers bars, chopped (or use fun size)

2 tablespoons Peanut Butter
175g Chocolate (we used Dairy Milk)

60g Rice Krispies

To Make:

• Make the brownies according to instructions on the box.
• Once the brownies have cooled, spread the marshmallow fluff evenly over the top. 
• Place pieces of Snickers all over.

• In a large microwaveable bowl melt the chocolate and peanut butter and combine.
• Stir in the rice cereal. 

• Spoon onto the brownies and marshmallow and spread evenly, pushing the mixture into the corners of the tin.

• Refrigerate until set.
• Whilst still in the tin, cut into equal portions and lift out using a spatula.

Safe to say they went down very well...

Shout out to my fat girl Jess for the help.

Pancake Day!

Like the majority of people in the country, on Tuesday, I ate pancakes. Pancake Day sure does make a normal, dull Tuesday slightly sweeter doesn't it? 

Although I am a believer in eating pancakes any day, at any given time of the year, there are many people out there that only eat them once a year. How they manage this I'm not too sure, but lets hope they at least go back for seconds. 

No recipe here as I used mine for Perfect Pancakes.(And who really doesn't know how to make pancakes?) I made them with caramelised bananas and blueberries to make 'em extra yummy for breakfast time before work. Plus it counts as 1 of my 5 a day, right? The whole lot was them drowned in syrup to make for a mighty start to my Tuesday morning.

After work I couldn't resist just sneaking in a few more pancakes at dinner time, but mixed it up and went for crepes, rather than big ole American stylies. Unfortunately, I got no pictures as I ate them all far too quick, but filled them with the obligatory lemon and sugar or Nutella. I also recently discovered Lotus spread, I'm late to the game on this one but super glad I finaly across this stuff. It's good on/in anything so was obviously amaze in my crepes too!

What do you like on yours?

Hope your days were just as sweet as mine. Happy flippin'!
