Homemade cookies are much better than shopbought cookies, because you can control what goes into them. These are lower in fat and sugar, making them a healthier alternative.
Peanut Butter Slices
Peanut butter is a wonderful baking ingredient. Here it helps to bind the mixture and adds flavour.
Date and Chocolate Balls
We all love chocolate, but know that too much is not good for us. In this treat, we combine dark chocolate with dates to make a healthier alternative.
Baby Marrow Fritters
Baby marrows are very versatile and add extra fibre and flavour to this snack.
Home Made Ice Tea
This tea is very refreshing and a healthier alternative to fizzy, sugary cold drinks. Keep a jug of this ice tea in the fridge in summer.
Apple and Banana Muffins
Baking is often associated with lots of sugar and a lower nutritional value. By preparing an apple purée and using a ripe banana, no sugar is needed. Grated apple adds flavour and texture to these delicious muffins.
Fresh Fruit and Peanut Butter Dip
This peanut butter dip makes snacking on fruit even yummier! The peanut butter adds a slightly sweeter flavour to the yoghurt, making it ideal for those late afternoon munchies.
Popcorn
Homemade popcorn is such a treat and the ideal lunch box filler. A healthier alternative to shopbought salty snacks like crisps, at home you can control how much salt and oil is used.
