SINLESS COOKIES
(If you do not like sweet then this is for you – I would have preferred to make them sweeter by adding sugar and maybe cherries)
2 ripe bananas
1 cup quick oats
½ cup choc chips
1 tablespoon peanut butter, heaped

Mix all ingredients together very well. Roll dough into balls and place on baking sheet. Flatten slightly with fork. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 15 minutes.

Dominique Du Toit:
Ek’t hierdie basis resep (2 piesangs en 1 koppie hawermout) al baie gemaak. Sal die grondboontjiebotter ‘n keer probeer. Wat vir my lekker werk daarin is droë vrugte soos rosyne, maar ook gekapte vye of appelkose. My kinders hou daarvan met suurlemoen geur by (suiker skil) of sommer ‘n lepel Milo. Ek het ook al met sukses coconut, neute en sade soos sonneblom toegevoeg. As my toevoegings te veel word, voeg ek ‘n eier by. Die bolletjies rol is vir my te veel as die kids nie help nie; dan bak ek dit sommer in die kolwyntjiepannetjie.

SHORT CRUST PASTRY IDEAS
So I wanted to share with you mommy’s that don’t have time to bake, that’s really easy and lovely. I bought a packet of sweet crust pastry and cut them into shapes and baked it at 180°C.
I then bought some decorating icing and decorated some, others I rolled the thawed out pastry into balls and pushed my thumb into it and added some strawberry jam and baked them.
Easy kiddy ideas and they can even help, it’s mess free for those less stressful days
