S C O N E M A D

Going out for a cuppa and a scone used to be one of my greatest pleasures.

I was on a mission at one point to find the best scone in Ireland and I reckon I may have found it 😊



A lovely big scone topped with butter and jam and copious amounts of jam was pure heaven for me.

I'm not going to lie I still have a major hankering for it but it's kind of out the window for me now that I'm mostly dairy free 😕

BUT FEAR NOT!

Alternatives are always possible...

I've been making these scones that have no eggs, milk, refined sugar or fat.

I know what you're thinking...

They must taste awful.

NOOOOOO!!!!!

They are unreal.

I've road tested them with Ethan - seal of approval✔

I've road tested them with Liam - seal of approval (Not a biggie because he'd eat anything 😆)✔

I've road tested them with Mam - seal of approval✔

I've road tested them with Christy - seal of approval✔

I've road tested them with my nieces - seal of approval✔

The BIG test came yesterday.

I was meeting my sisters, Maria and Mags and my Mam for breakfast so I made a batch of my "free from" scones to bring with me.

Now anyone who knows my sisters will know they are into their healthy eating just as much as I am.

We were meeting in my Mams house and the smell of the scones on the way in the road had my stomach grumbling.

We made a pot of coffee that you could literally stand on and we tucked in...

They loved them 👍

Sisters seal of approval ✔

So my mam was running late and two scones out of the 5 I made were still sitting on the table.  We were chatting away not realising that each of us was dividing the spare scone between us in our heads.

I had divided in 4

Mags had divided it in 3

...BUT MARIA

well she was the first to make a move 😆

She dived straight in saying I'm having another half 😂

So funny 💓

anyway...

back to the recipe

3 ingredients
1 minute to mix
25 minutes to bake
and that's it!!!!

Simple

INGREDIENTS


300g Oats
500g soy yogurt
2 scoops vanilla protein

Shape into 5 scones and put them on a sheet of greased baking paper

Bake at 200 for 25 minutes

If you're afraid you'll make a batch and eat them all (which is not beyond the realm of possibility) make one scone at a time.

Mix it up a little by adding frozen fruit, nuts, seeds, dark chocolate, dried fruit, cinnamon....

Or you could just change the flavor yogurt or protein you use.

The possibilities are endless

I have them warm out of the oven with butter and jam and maybe a little yogurt on top.

This is the protein I use


It's a soy based protein and it bakes really well.

Give them a try over the weekend and let me know what you think.



Enjoy the sunshine 😎

Did you ever wake up feeling a bit low for no reason at all? You try to figure out what’s making you feel down and you just can’t put your finger on it? I woke up like this last Friday morning.  I just felt a bit "meh" and found it hard to get out of bed but I got up and went to the gym anyway.  I had a great workout but felt no better after it.  Normally a workout would lift my mood but it hadn’t done the trick so I drove home thinking I’ll lie down on the sofa with a blanket and watch a movie and that will make me feel better. When I got home Lenny was hopping out of his skin looking to go for a walk.  The internal battle began.  The good Bernie said go out for a walk in the fresh air, it will make you feel so much better.  The bad Bernie said lie down on the sofa, you deserve to have a bit of a rest, and you can take Lenny out later sher…. The good Bernie won the battle and I put Lenny’s lead on and headed out the door.   By the time...

HELP

Have you ever been working on your computer or laptop and found that it becomes annoyingly slow?  You think it’s because of a poor internet connection but you soon discover that it’s because you have too many tabs open. Well my brain has been doing this since before Christmas.  I’m totally distracted and I’m finding it so frustrating because I’m not able to focus on any single task at a time without my mind jumping to something else completely.  It’s so annoying and totally unproductive. I HAVE TOO MANY TABS OPEN IN MY BRAIN Can you relate to this? This brain fog led me to take a complete break from my phone, social media in particular, during the Christmas holidays.  This little break was pure heaven but enough is enough Bernie!! It’s time to get back to work!!  Easy to say but not so easy to do.  I’ve been talking to myself trying to urge myself to write a blog and my newspaper article but I JUST CAN’T FOCU...

Chocolate and cake for breakfast

If breakfast is the most important meal of the day we want to make sure it's delicious and nutritious and most importantly that it doesn't become boring. Until recently I always thought of porridge as the big pot of lumpy goo we were forced to eat for our breakfast as kids. Not any more... I ADORE PORRIDGE NOW. I have it for breakfast, lunch and as a snack and I'll eat it hot or cold.  Basically I'm not fussy because it tastes so good 😍 Did you know that porridge and oats are not the same thing? I didn't until just last week 🙈 The dictionary says porridge is a food commonly eaten as a breakfast cereal, made by boiling ground, crushed or chopped starchy plants—typically grain—in water or milk. Armed with this new info I've been trying out different grains to make my porridge with and I've been experimenting with lots of different add ins. Here's my top 3 (so far) What I love about these recipes is that y...
