Healthy Granola Bars – With the shops going granola bar crazy, it is becoming increasingly hard to know which granola bars are actually healthy. Many contain a lot of added sugar and preservatives. By making your own, you know 100% what is in your bars. Therefore, you can be sure all of the ingredients are wholesome and will contain a good nutritional value. This no-bake (apart from toasting the oats) are low in sugar, stuffed with nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. They’re great for a snack or perfect for breakfast on the go.
Apple and cinnamon bread – my new favourite thing! I am often making banana bread and fancied a change. With apples falling from the trees, I thought this would be a perfect combination. This apple and cinnamon bread is super quick and easy to throw together. It is moist and bursting with flavour. Perfect as an evening sweet bite or works well with your morning cuppa tea/coffee!
Do you not have time for breakfast? Would you like something quick and easy to eat on the go? These Oat Breakfast Muffins are perfect to grab in the mornings. They are also a big hit with kids too! This recipe uses no flour, no sugar, and no oil but they are still deliciously moist muffins. If you are gluten-free you are can use gluten-free oats instead.
Life is constantly becoming busier and busier. Work, kids, family, social life can all get in the way and it can become near impossible to fit those all-important workouts in.

However, sometimes shorter workouts can often be more effective than longer ones. The secret to achieving better results in a shorter time is High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) training.
