Banana Strawberry Overnight Oats

I thought of making another flavor of overnight oats when I saw fresh strawberries on SM Savemore’s fresh fruits stalls one afternoon.  I took one pack more or less equivalent to ¼ kilograms @ P148.00 ($3.2), too pricey for a few pieces of strawberries. But since, I just got my bi-monthly pay, I just closed my eyes and paid it, after all I wanted to try something new for my overnight oat experiment.

Like last time, I don’t have the exact measurements for this recipe. I simply estimated the rolled oats that I can take and just few pieces of strawberries. I have saved the rest for the next day.

As usual, the process is very simple. Just mix everything, including the 120g Greek Style Yogurt, and half of the 250ml low-fat milk pack in a glass container with cover.

Leave the mixture overnight in the refrigerator, and in the morning viola! Your healthy and delicious meal is already set. Oh, don’t forget to add a few slices of banana.

Since, I was in a hurry that morning with only few minutes to take the photo above, I brought the Strawberry Banana Overnight Oat meal with me to the office. J

Sweet Mango Overnight Oats

Summer in the Philippines is not only fun, but sweet as well because of the sweet fruits that are also abundant during this season like mangoes. It seems like every corner of the city is full of sweet yellow mangoes.

Yesterday, I bought 2 kilograms of ripe mangoes to a street vendor in front of our office. I kept on thinking what better recipe to do with mangoes, then, I remembered the Mango Overnight Oats that I have read before at Peachy’s Kitchen.

Peanut Butter Cookies

The first baked goodies I have made, are banana chocolate chip muffins aka cupcakes, or whatever you call it. It was not that successful because of the ingredients. 

Aside from muffins, I wanted to learn how to make cookies, I have tried baking oatmeal cookies, but the result was not that good but still edible though. This time around, I tried making another batch of cookies. A bunch of peanut butter cookies that I am sure my son will love, (he loves peanuts, peanut butter a lot).

Thanks to technology and the internet, learning how to bake these days are easy-peasy. Just type the key words and hit search, Google will display what you are looking for I seconds. This is what I am doing now, I usually “screenshot” some recipes that I found easy to follow, buy the ingredients and start creating.

One of the many sites, that I have stumbled upon, is “bake happy” a proudly pinoy blog own by Ms.Aikko. This is where I found the “Peanut Butter Cookies” recipe which I am sharing right now.

Using the recipe above, except for the extra sugar for sprinkling, here’s my version.

Though they are not perfectly rounded cookies, the taste was indeed heaven! As expected my kids love it!

As what Ms.Aikko, had said, making these “sweetness” is very easy and as a beginner myself I have no difficulty in following her instructions.

She’s too patient and generous to share the step by step with pictures. Whew! Thanks so much, I’ll be making more of these in a few days. I already got jars of peanut butter in my cupboard. J

Enjoy the yumminess!

P.S. I applied some of the tips from Mommy Joy's "the food styling something" and came up with this idea. But with regards to lighting, I made used only the pop-up flash :-). Soon I'll practice also taking pictures outside using natural light. :-)
