Blueberry Oaties
The blueberry oaties are quickly made weekend treats with few ingredients: a handful of blueberries, organic rolled oats and soft peanut butter. I previously made these cookies with dark chocolate chips, but prefer to use blueberries.
Health benefits:
· Peanut butter contains potassium as well as protein, which lowers the risk of high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease.
· It is high in fibre which is for your bowel health, contains healthy fats, magnesium to fortify your bones and muscles, Vitamin E and antioxidants.
