Peanut butter protein bites!

I bought a big bag of pure whey protein powder from the UK back with me but haven't been able to cook with it yet, so I decided to make a pre/ post workout snack for Tom today! If you don't want to add protein to yours, you can substitute it with any type of flour such as almond or coconut flour :)

PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN BITES

• 100 g oat flour (blended up oats)
• 40 g protein powder (or substitute with other type of flour)
• 140 g fruit or veg puree ( I used banana and pumpkin, you could try apple, sweet potato etc)
• 50 g peanut butter
• 200 ml of milk
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Half a teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tbsp yogurt
• 1-2 tbsp honey (optional-depending if you use fruit or not)
• 1 tbsp flax seeds or chia seeds (optional)

• Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
• Blend up your oats to make your oat flour, make sure you use a LARGE/DEEP bowl or jug or else this will happen :(.

• Add in the rest of your ingredients except for the yogurt and the seeds and blend it all together until you get a smooth paste.
• Fold in your yogurt and seeds and if the mix is slightly too sift, add a drop more milk.
• Pour into a greased cake tin and bake for about 20-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. I thought my cake looked a bit 'sad' so I added some cocoa to half of the mixture and made a 'swirl' effect cake with a few more dollops of peanut butter in between!
• Serve chunks of this with some peanut butter, sliced banana, melted dark chocolate, yogurt or whatever takes your fancy!
