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.

Ingredients
- 160g of oats (4xHEb's)
- 135g of banana, mashed
- 160g of fat-free plain yoghurt
- 8 oreo thins
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp of baking powder

- 15g of white chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180c/350f (gas mark 4)
- Add to a bowl the oats, baking powder and salt and mix to combine, set aside.
- In a separate bowl add the mashed banan, yoghurt, eggs, vanilla extract and sukrin: 1 whisk until smooth.
- Add this to the oat mixture and stir until all combined.
- Pour into an 8x8 square brownie pan, lined with parchment (if not using parchment, you will need to grease the pan well with spray oil).

- Sprinkle on top of the oat mixture, and carefully push down into the mixture with a spatula, you want them to be half in the mixture, half sticking out on top.
- Place in the oven and bake for 40 mins until lightly golden - a skewer entered into the centre should come out clean.
- Allow to cool slightly, carefully remove from the pan.
- Add the white chocolate to a bowl and microwave for 30 secs and stir till melted. Add to a snack size ziplock bag and squeeze down into one corner, snip off a small piece of the corner and then pipe the melted white chocolate across the top. Allow to set and then slice into 16 equal sized bites.
- Enjoy!!

Thank you

February 20, 2018 at 5:03 amHi, we made these last night and they are YUMMY, just wondering how you would suggest storing them? (didnt want them to go too soggy if I put them in the fridge…?)
They are currently sat on the kitchen side in a container while I am at work so hopefully they will be okay.
Thanks for such amazing recipes!!!!
Shevy (Slimming Eats)
February 20, 2018 at 10:31 amHi Aimee, I either keep in a lidded tub in the cupboard or freeze and just grab a serving as I want it. Hope that helps
Jade
February 20, 2018 at 11:54 amJust made these and OMG they are so lush!!
How long would they last in a Tupperware do you think?
Shevy (Slimming Eats)
February 20, 2018 at 10:01 pmHi Jade – so glad you like them, they should keep about 3 days. They can also be frozen, saves temptation to eat more, as they are so yummy!!

August 11, 2018 at 4:01 pmFancied something sweet but healthy with little ingredients and these are bang on. Didn’t use Oreo and replaced sweetener with 2 tsp of honey, drizzled with dark chocolate on top. Can’t wait to try other combinations. My 10-month and 4-year old loved them too! Thanks
