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.
