Peanut Butter Granola Bars

It's halfway through your school or work day and you find yourself barely awake since you've probably not had as much sleep as you'd wished for the night before. This peanut butter granola bar is perfect for a pick me up snack, and since they contain oats, the energy will be slowly released throughout the rest of the day so that you don't come crashing down an hour after eating one.

Ingredients:

-180g rolled oats

-33g peanuts, chopped

-95g peanut butter

-85g honey

-dried fruit, seeds, nuts, choc chips etc. (optional)

Method:

1) Preheat the oven to gas mark 4.

2) Combine the oats and peanuts.

3) Melt the honey and peanut butter and add to the mixture.

4) Throw in any optional extras of your choice. (I used dried cranberries and dark chocolate chips)

5) If, at this stage, the mix is too dry add in more melted honey or peanut butter. 

6) Put the granola bar concoction into a lined tray and bake for 25 minutes. 

7) These granola bars also work as none bake by putting them into the fridge for an hour. 

I hope you enjoyed this simple recipe, stay around for another blog post next Sunday! :)

Mini Lush Haul and Review

The Comforter

This bubble bar has been by far my favourite lush product. I love the fact that you get a large amount of the product allowing you to easily use half of it and use the rest another time. It also created lots of bubbles from only about a third of the bar which I think is really good. This product also turned my bath a beautiful pink colour and smelt scrumptious! I will definitely be repurchasing this again and I may even try out the Comforter shower gel since I loved the scent so much.

Space Girl

I really loved the scent of this bath bomb but was let down by its fizziness. This may have been because I used it with the comforter but it didn't fizz very much or create any pretty swirls of colour in the bath water. The scent of this bath bomb was very strong and smelt like those sweets that smell almost perfumy.

Tisty Tosty

This bath bomb truly reminds me of my nan and her perfumes. It has a sweet flowery scent to it and smells very spring-like. When I used this bath bomb, I only used half of it but I would recommend using the whole thing if you want your bath water to become softer and more moisturising. I also thought the couple of flower buds on the bath bomb which become free and floated on the top of the water when the bath bomb fizzies added an elegant and vintage touch. This bath bomb was also a bit more fizzier than space girl.

I hoped you enjoyed this post and be sure to stick around for more in the future! What's your favourite Lush product? :)
