Pictured above are my super tasty, super quick bird watchers bites. I’ve modified an old recipe to suit a vegan lifestyle (which I’m currently trying to implement in my own day to day life).

These bites are perfect for mid mornings, afternoons or even after the gym!

The recipe requires 

* 100g margarine (any better vegan butter substitutes please let me know!)

* 100g sugar

* 1 banana (or an egg for non vegans)

* 2 tbsp vanilla extract 

* 0.5 apple diced

* 50g decimated almonds or coconuts 

* 50g sunflower seeds

* 50g raisins

* 175g oats

* 140g brown flour

* 0.75 tbsps baking powder

Prep

1. Preheat your oven to 190 degrees Celsius 

2. Grease and line a baking tray

Let’s go!

3. Cream together butter and sugar

4. Add the banana and vanilla extract, beat together.

5. Stir in the almonds and seeds adding the diced apple as you go.

6. In a new bowl, mix the oats, flour, baking powder and raisins. 

7. Add to the butter mixture.

8. Form into small spheres, approx 2.5cm

9. Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 mins depending on your oven. 

10. Cool on a wire rack!

Enjoy. 

February Style Guide

Ever since working in London my warbrobe has become a big focus of mine. I fully blame the London girls with their constant source of daily style inspo. London girls are so damn trendy. 

I loooove Asos, so much so that I check it hourly on most days.. that’s okay, right?

As a new monthly feature on my blog I’m sharing with you my wardrobe planning. Like the majority of people I can’t afford to just splash the cash on whatever I fancy.. especially when my Asos saved basket holds over 100 items (126 to be precise). So instead, I plan. I outfit plan in an attempt to stay on budget and on task. Gone are the days of impulsive purchasing that you regret 3 weeks later. 

So the key word for today.. STAPLE, STAPLE, STAPLE. 

Have no fear ladies.. all items are linked below. Oh happppy days.

Another great way to get inspo is by screenshotting looks you love and uploading them to the Asos Source feature which helps find similar pieces. 

For example, you’re browsing Pinterest for style inspo. You fall in love with a black shirt dress and you just have to have one.

Screenshot, upload the image, reposition and VOILA!
