About Me

My photo
I will attempt to update wartime recipes to modern tastes, in order to keep up with new trends, attitudes and approaches to food and it's preparation while still keeping a traditional British wartime feel to recipes. I will start by making recipes to the letter and move forward from there to encompass different modern diets. I will attempt to make meals first fit in to a popular diet plan and then will move on to Vegetarian/Vegan versions. So that everyone can enjoy British wartime recipes. This experiment is for my own amusement as well as to feel closer to my grandparents over the years they cooked and lived through hard times.

Peanut Butter Bites.

These are fairly healthy yummy biscuits. The consistency is soft, almost cake like. They aren't exactly made to the original recipe as the bananas I chose to use were real, usually it requires banana flavouring and cooked parsnips! I couldn't find any banana flavouring sadly so real bananas had to do. You'll get the idea though.
Recipe:
1 and a half cups of porridge oats
<3 cooked parsnips with 1 tsp banana flavouring >(or 3 small real bananas).
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 apple chopped
1 tsp sugar (I used sweetner)
A third of a cup of low fat peanut butter
1 tbsp of nuts (peanuts or almonds are good)
1 tbsp mixed spice
A dash of nutmeg.
Method:
Preheat the oven at gas mark 4. Use a blender mix the "fruit" and peanut butter together with the vanilla extract.  Then add and mix in the oats, sugar or sweetner and spices. Then lastly fold most of the nuts into the mixture. Transfer to a baking tray that has been covered with greased baking paper. My bites were 2 tbsp of mixture flattened out slightly and topped with a few nuts. Put in the oven for 20 - 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
