These are basically a play on a really great bowl of muesli but handily contained within the portability of a ‘cookie’. As you can see from the ingredients there is nothing there to really associate these delights with anything you’d regularly find in a biscuit tin but that is not to say they don’t stand up to the challenge!

The oats provide a satisfying chewiness and great amounts of fibre to fuel you up and keep you going. This is balanced by the protein and healthy fats within the nuts which is all then tied together by the natural sweetness of the banana and cinnamon.

So if you’re looking for a super speedy breakfast or mid-afternoon snack, look no further than these guys. They also make for a fabulous hot drink companion so if that sweet toothed devil arrives, you know the one who says he can only be satisfied by something of the Hobnob variety? Give him the brush off for a couple of minutes and try one of these – both of you might get a surprise… 😉
