Raw Vanilla Protein Blondies!

Happy Sunday folks!

And what makes Sundays even happier?

Was it the little extra sleep-in I finally managed to get? Or the lovely long walk with my dog in the early morning rays?

Yes and yes.

But you know what really made my Sunday happy...

BREAKFAST!
And this wasn't just any breakfast- oh no! This was the ultimate, fudgey, caramel-y, vanilla-y delicious-ness of a huuuugggee raw vanilla blondie!

This was too good not to share and so below you will find yourself eternally gifted with the awe-inspiring (ridiculously easy) recipe to make your very own single serving batch! Quite similar to this recipe if you want the dark, fudgey, rich chocolate version!

Raw Vanilla Protein Blondies:
Ingredients:
1/2 heaped cup rolled oats
1/2 heaped teaspoon cinnamon
1 large scoop vanilla protein powder
2 dates, pitted
1 LARGE tablespoon nut butter of choice (I used a mixed nut and seeds spread)
1/4 cup almond milk (or milk of choice/ water)

Method:
1. Place everything in a small food processor and process to combine- until smooth and lump-free
2. Line a small container/ mini loaf tin with baking paper
3. Scoop mixture into tin and press down to cover base
4. Place in freezer for at least 30 mins (I put mine in for 40-45mins) until cold and set
5. DEVOUR!!

Flourless, filling, full of fiber... and tastes like a really decadent dessert. YES!

I served my blondie with a side of berry fro-yo, which was just a large handful of frozen mixed berries whazzed up with three big spoons of greek yoghurt in a mini food processor until smooth and then popped in the freezer to harden up slightly for around 10-15 mins.

I simply can't get over the fudge factor of these blondies and the extremely satisfy, stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth mouthfeel:

There are so many variations I can't wait to try with the endless possibilities of this brownie/blondie creation (think lemon bars, berry cheesecake blondies, choco orange decadent delights!!)

But right now I'm happy drooling over my gone-too-soon breakfast of the day:

Happy, happy days.

 Nom.
