RECIPE: Peanut Butter and Banana Flapjacks

-
THESE ARE GOOD YOU GUYS. HASHTAG SORRY NOT SORRY BECAUSE THESE ARE SO DARN GOOD YOU GUYS.

But seriously. Peanut butter + banana + chocolate = heaven. And you know it.
I think the fact that I was commissioned (not really) to make a second batch of these just from my Instagram photos says it all really.

Ingredients (makes approx. 12 flapjacks):
  • 75g light muscovado sugar
  • 140g peanut butter (I used smooth, but crunchy would add new levels of awesome)
  • 4 and a half tbsp runny honey
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 140g oats
  • 140g plain chocolate (ok, so I actually bought a 150g bar but I needed a pre-baking snack alright, JEEEZ.)
Method:
  1. Line a 15cm by 15cm baking tin.
  2. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C.
  3. Heat the sugar, peanut butter and honey in a saucepan on low heat, mixing until smooth.
  4. Transfer into a large mixing bowl with the oats and mashed banana, and mix until all the oats are coated (you should end up with a giant blob (- technical term)).
  5. Place your batter/mixture/blob into the baking tin and press down with the back of a spoon until flat and even.
    Flapjacky goodness, ready to be baked.
  6. Bake for 12-15 mins, until golden brown but still with a bit of squidge.
  7. While it cools, break the chocolate into pieces and place in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.
  8. Stir the chocolate until fully melted.
  9. When your flapjacks are cool, generously spread the chocolate on top.
    Try to resist just eating this with a spoon.
    (You will need more than that.)
  10. Pop into the fridge until the chocolate is set (30 mins - 1 hour), and then cut into squares.
BOOMTOWN.


You enjoy that squidgy, crunchy, peanut buttery, banana-y, chocolatey goodness.
Yeah. You're welcome.

Where to Eat in Madrid: Part 1

I've decided I can't live in a big city when I'm older.  I need to be surrounded by nothing but fields of sheep .  How am I supposed to resist the 7 million different eateries right outside my front door?! Everything from pizza and burgers to ice cream and churros is less than a 5 minute walk from my piso in Madrid and it's pretty stressful, I tell ya. This sort of thing just can't be helped It's safe to say I've sampled a fair few restaurants/cafés/bars (did you know Madrid has more bars per square metre than anywhere else in Europe(!)) since arriving in Madrid 5 months ago - and there's so many more to discover! So I thought I'd start a little series of my favourite places (I couldn't possibly condense them all into one post, or we'd be here for hours.) Sorry in advance for making you really hungry. Trust . If you want... BRUNCH Name:   Federal Café Where?: Plaza de las Comendadores, Plaza del Conde de Barajas  My fav

I somehow only have just over two months left in Madrid , it's really snuck up on me, I tell ya. And the thing I'm most worried about? Leaving before I've eaten at every place on my 'Where To Eat in Madrid' bucket list. Yes that is an actual thing I have made, #priorities. I mean, it's difficult, you want to go back to the good places AND try all the new places. This year abroad stuff is really tough.   So here is Part 2 of the highly acclaimed series, I know you've all been waiting with bated breath. If you want... PIZZA Name : Ôven Where? : Calle de Fuencarral, Calle Gran Vía,  My favourite : Pizza De La Huerta Pizza Pizza Pizza. The tagline of this place is 'Mozzarella Bar'. Need I say more? But for reals, this is definitely the best pizza I've had while being in Madrid, maybe even EVER - serious allegations being made here you guys.  They also have an amazing selection of Mozzarella and Burrata dishes, their speciality, whi
