blueberry pie chia pudding:  not gonna lie, i’ve never had blueberry pie before, but i don’t think i’ll need to after trying this.  this is the BEST breakfast i’ve made in a while!  followed a recipe from ohsheglows.com, added some cinnamon and nutmeg for spice, used coconut milk instead of almond milk, and topped it with plain baked oatmeal and almond butter.  soooo good.

Ban-ashew Oat Cookies
Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the longer they’re left, the softer and moister and yummier they become, mmmm

Ingredients
85g cashew butter
80g whole oats
2 medium bananas
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (NOT essence) 
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C (in a fan oven) / 356°F / gas mark 4 and line a baking sheet with some slightly greased baking paper
Mash the bananas with the cashew butter and vanilla extract
Beat in the egg white
Combine with the oats
Plop (lol) tablespoons of the mixture on to the baking sheet and flatten with the back of the spoon. You don’t need to space them out that much because they don’t spread while cooking.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden, leave to cool to room temperature on the baking paper and carefully peel off.
I made 8 cookies, each one is approx 130 calories. 
But I may have eaten some of the mixture.. you might be able to make 9, or use a teaspoon instead of a tablespoon to make 16 bite sized ones (you need to lower the baking time).
For breakfast tomorrow, I’m sandwiching two of these babies together with cooked and mashed raspberries and banana, urgh I can’t wait.
