♥ 3 Ingredients Almond Oat Bar ♥

I am so obsessed with granola and cereal bars.

They are tasty and make a quick breakfast to go in the early morning.

This 3 ingredients recipe rocks with natural almond butter, honey and rolled oats. Making some chewy, nutty and naturally sweet breakfast bars which are slightly different from the typical crunchy version.

Try and keep this handy recipe. And you might want to ditch those commercial cereal bars.

♥ No Bake Peanut Butter Coconut Cereal Bar ♥

What is your best healthy treat? To celebrate the "early" Easter, I have made some breakfast cereal bar. Using only peanut butter, coconut oil and added some flaxseed.

They are crunchy, with a strong nutty flavor which definitely fill your day long.

I am recently so addicted to this Japanese fruit cereal from Calbee. But if you can't find one or anything similar, please use rice krispy treat as the original recipe does. A little chocolate doesn't hurt anybody too :)

♥ Coconut Oil Almond & Honey Granola ♥

I have learnt that coconut oil has a lot of benefits. It boosts brain function, protects the skin, improves digestion, helps in weight loss and great for de-stress.

It seems completely useful to me in all aspect, so I decided to make some healthy breakfast with coconut oil for a good start in the morning.

These granola is extremely profitable, easy and doesn't contain tons of sugar, where commercial granola usually does.

 I toss in some almond and coconut flakes to add a little crunch, and almond extract, but they are totally optional! Serve with milk, greek yogurt, or just on it own! They don't last long!

♥ Flourless PB S'mores Cookie Cup ♥

I suppose no one will get tired of s'mores. More please!

To recap, the s'mores dip I made last week was a big hit. But I know it's hard to share, cause one can easily finish the whole plate (or pan I reckon lol).

This easy peasy recipe combines both a flourless peanut butter cookie base with the s'mores. Gluten free, but super indulging. So one cup one bite is good to go!

♥ Just Two PB&J Cookies ♥

Two years ago I made a similar peanut butter and jelly sandwich cookies, which is a wow and applause. Instead of using the original recipe, I have adjusted an easier version for the peanut butter cookie, which is also a small serving just for 2.

Spread with your favourite jam, here I use my all time handy strawberry jam. The peanut butter can be natural, or some such as this and this. No stir, all natural, is what I prefer to have on hand.

I just love their criss-cross pattern.
