​I know the effect a healthy diet can have on my body.  I’m 2 ½ years into my stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis and I surprise everyone I meet how well I look.  This is, in  a big part, down to what fuel I am feeding my body, but any diet has to be sustainable and not feel like an obsession.  I am always looking for ways to make my healthy foods taste like they might be naughty.
 
These cookies are simply 3 ingredients:
  1. Oats -lower blood sugars & cholesterol, antioxidants, promotes good gut bacteria,  skin protective (reduces itching and irritation), reduce constipation, soothing on the nerves, relaxant, packed with nutrients
  2. Banana – high in potassium, magnesium, folate, antioxidants, soluble fibre, support digestive health, a good fuel source, beneficial to heart & kidney health, good post exercise fuel – N.B. too many bananas can increase constipation in some
  3. Dark chocolate – high in antioxidants, helps blood flow and blood pressure, assists in lowering cholesterol, skin protective, aids brain functions, rich in a host of beneficial nutrients, boosts energy
 
So how do you make them?
Makes 16 cookies
Total time – 20 minutes
Ingredients
  • 2 cups oats
  • 3 bananas
  • ½ cup dark chocolate - chipped
Method
  1. Set oven to 180C
  2. Put your Dark chocolate in a food processor and mix till broken into small pieces
  3. Add the bananas to the processor and blend in for a few seconds
  4. Add the oats to the processor and blend for a few more seconds till completely mixed
  5. Take a golf ball sized piece of the mixture and roll into a ball, then place on a lined tray and push down to make a flatter circle.  Do this till you have used up all the mixture.  I made 16 cookies
  6. Place  in the oven for 15 minutes
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool
  8. Now just enjoy
