Delicious Cookies and Cream Oat Bites with a white chocolate drizzle – enjoy 4 of these for 1 Healthy Extra B and 6 syns.

Remember the healthy apple and sultana oat bites I posted the other week, they were a huge hit, the kids loved them and they were my treat at the end of the day with a nice cuppa.

This week I decided to have a go at a new version and oh boy, these are even better.

Cookies and Cream is one of my favourites flavours of ice cream and I’m a bit of a sucker for Oreos, I’ve been buying the thins as they are slightly less syns than the regular and one is perfectly enough for me, when I have a craving for something biscuity with my cuppa in the afternoon.

I put some of my creativeness when it comes to recipes down to my art background. I’ve always loved drawing and completed an art degree between 1997 to 2000 – show my age there now.

While I don’t really pick up any art materials much anymore, I do think one of the reasons I love to cook and create new recipes is because of my creativity.

Sometimes just one ingredient can pop an idea into my head and away I go in my kitchen, you could say my kitchen is my studio.

So today with that lonely old ripe banana in my fruit bowl and looking for inspiration in my pantry for what to combine with it for a recipe. The idea of these yummy cookies and cream oat bites popped into my head. There was a reason I mentioned those Oreo Thins.

They add that lovely biscuity cookie and cream flavour and combined with the oaty cake part of these bites was true heaven.

The kids came in from school, took one sniff of the amazing aroma and rushed over to the tray and devoured some right in front of my eyes and announced – “Mom, these are sooooo good”. So I knew I was on to a winner with these cookies and cream oat bites.

As we cook the banana in these cookies and cream oat bites, it needs to be synned, remember fruit is only syn free in its raw form. Slimming World advise that when you puree, blend or cook fruit, you should syn it. This is to protect your weight loss because generally fruit is easier to consume and less high satiety when eaten in that way.

So for that reason, I always make sure my recipes are synned following the rules, with no tweaks etc.

To sweeten these cookies and cream oat bites and in place of sugar I use Sukrin: 1  – this is a natural based sweetener that has no aftertaste and is my preferred choice in baking. It can be found at some health food stores as well as on Amazon. Of course, you can replace with any sweetener of choice. Just be aware that the sweetener you use may affect the taste.

For the white chocolate drizzle on these cookies and cream oat bites, I just melt it in a bowl in the microwave – 30 seconds is usually enough time. If you don’t like white chocolate, I know it’s not to everyone’s taste, feel free to swap it out for regular milk or even dark chocolate. The white chocolate is just great for that cookies and cream taste.
