Apple & Oat Pikelets

I promised my youngest pikelets for lunch today but wanted to try something a little different than the usual flour, milk, eggs etc. I found this recipe over at http://delicioussnacks.wordpress.com/ and i thought we'd give it a go. 

My 2.5 year old gobbled them up (always a good sign) so i thought i would share the recipe as i made a few changes to the original.



2 x small apples (grated)
3 / 4 cup flour (i used a mixture of wholemeal self raising and rye flour)
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 x tbspn brown sugar
2 x tspns olive oil
1 x egg
1/2 cup yoghurt
1/4 cup milk
1 x teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of cinnamon
Oil to cook pikelets (i used rice bran)
Yoghurt, fruit etc to serve

Put apple, flour, oats and sugar into a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine oil, egg, yoghurt and milk, cinnamon and vanilla extract. 

Add the yoghurt mixture to the apple/oats mixture and fold through until combined.

Heat a small amount of oil in a pan and put tablespoons of mixture into the pan. Cook for 2 minutes then turn and cook the other side for 2 minutes.

Top with fresh or frozen fruit, yoghurt, honey - whatever you like :)

Enjoy.....

Food in a Flash - Peanut Butter Choc Chip Cookies

I enjoy cooking and when time permits i 'attempt' to get creative in the kitchen. Most days though, i don't have stacks of time to prepare gourmet dishes so i get really excited when i come across recipes for super fast meals.

Now this recipe wouldn't exactly be classed as a meal, although i have been known to consume them for breakfast, lunch and dinner!! 


Recipe found here.

They are super quick to make and use everyday ingredients found in your pantry. As a bonus they are also gluten free (which is handy for me as my mother in law is gluten intolerant and now i have a great little treat to serve with coffee/tea when she visits).

These are the perfect cookies to make when unexpected guests drop buy or the kids are begging to do some baking and you want something fuss free.

Be warned though....they are TOTALLY addictive!!
