"Better for you" Banana, Oat and Chocolate Chip Cookies

...

It has been a while since I've popped over to the blog..


Today I am just quickly visiting to share with you this is easy and quick recipe..

You will need:
4 Ripe Bananas
2 Cups Oats (I used Flahavans)
1 tbsp Pure Canadian Maple Syrup (I use this just to stick the mixture together and bind it)
Chocolate Chips (Use a good quality dark or plain chocolate!)

Now:

- Preheat your oven to 170 degrees C

- Mash the 4 ripe bananas in a bowl

- Add the 2 cups of oats and a handful of chocolate chips to the banana 'mush'

- If the mixture looks too dry, this is when you add your maple syrup.. don't add it all at once, just a little at a time until the mixture is binding together nicely.

- I use an ice cream scoop to grab my mixture and place it onto a lined baking tray

- Squish your little balls of cookie dough slightly, they won't change shape much whilst cooking so make sure they are still nice and thick!!

- Bake for 15-20 minutes!

It is as easy as that..

Enjoy

IM ON MY GAP YEAR!

Oh my gosh.

Where has the summer gone? I mean we are already heading into Autumn? It is madness! But for me, this is the start of something new, fresh and totally awesome!

Several months back, I made the scary, but also very exciting, decision to take this year out after I completed my A Levels in June. So now September has come around and schools/universities are all heading back for the year ahead, this also means my gap year has, I suppose, officially started.

I am totally excited to see what the year is going to bring me and once I have some more solid plans for the year (I am trying this thing where I am more spontaneous) I am hoping to write lots of posts for you all about the year and my experiences!

Watch this space!

The easiest eye make - up look, ever!

Today I am going to just leave you with a really short and sweet post about my favourite easy eye make up! I have used just one product for the eyes and I think it leaves a pretty and cute look.

The Bourjois Colourband doesn't come in a vast variety of colours, mostly brown or black shades. However, the one colour that really stood out to me was 'Mauve'. As a lover of purple eyes anyway, I added this to my collection a while back, and when I am feeling lazy, but still want to look as though I have made some kind of effort, I use this 2 in 1 eye pencil.

I sharpen the pencil so it has a nice point to it, and then line just below my lower lashes. This kind of blunts the pencil, ready for shading all over the lid. I colour the whole lid with the pencil and then just simply grab a fluffy eyeshadow brush and blend - the pencil blends very easily and subtly! Then I usually go back over with the pencil and blend a couple more times until I am happy.. I like to have a little more product by my upper lash line!

Let me know if you have tried these pencils.. and if you like any of the other colours (?!) as I am considering buying some more..

Good Luck to anyone collecting/receiving their results tomorrow! Do awesome!

See you next time,
