FEEL GOOD: Healthy Treats For Mum

Ever hit 2pm and realised you have completely missed lunch (and maybe even breakfast...)? We've all been there! It's part and parcel of being a mum, especially in those early, hazy newborn days when you can sometimes be tied to the sofa for hours and hours on end. But a bit of forward planning on those days when life seems a bit easier can provide you with lots of yummy, easy - but healthy - treats for those tougher moments when it all gets a bit too much.

1. 4 INGREDIENT BANANA OAT BARS

At TME, we are all about quick and delicious food and these 4 ingredient banana oat bars can be eaten throughout the day. So whether you need to grab and go or enjoy post dinner as a sweet treat, these are perfect!

2. FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE AND RASPBERRY BROWNIES

We can't recommend these amazing healthy brownies enough! Perfect for when you need a delicious sweet treat when entertaining friends or because you simply love chocolate (who doesn't!) these chocolate brownies by Madeline Shaw are a winner every time.

Tip: Fresh raspberries work the best in this recipe so avoid the frozen option as this changes the consistency of the brownie.

3. DAIRY-FREE SPICED APPLE CRUMBLE MUFFINS

A twist on the traditional crumble dish, these spiced apple crumble muffins can be served as a dessert or a snack on the go. The caramel sauce is really scrummy as well!

4. 1 BOWL BLUEBERRY MUFFIN BREAKFAST COOKIES

Anything that is only '1 bowl' is a huge winner for us and these blueberry muffins are simply delicious! Gluten free and vegan so they tick the healthy box as well.

Tip: Flax eggs are a great alternative to eggs, so if avoiding eggs due to an intolerance, substitute with the flax version. For two flax eggs, use two tbsp of ground flaxseed and mix with 6 tbsp of water. Leave in the fridge for about 15 minutes to let the mixture set.

5. BANANA BREAD

A personal favourite of mine, banana bread is one cakey snack that we can eat for breakfast, an afternoon snack or as a dessert! This recipe can be made plain or with additional chocolate chips or chopped walnuts.

Tip: Serve the Aussie way, toasted with butter for a new delicious brunch option
