Ingredients:

• 150 g oat flakes (5.3 oz)
• 50 g walnuts (1.7 oz), chopped
• 50 g cashews (1.7 oz), chopped
• 30 g pumpkin seeds (1 oz)
• 50 g raisins (1.7 oz)
• 1 tbsp honey
• Cinnamon, to taste
• 150 g dried apricots (5.3 oz), chopped
• 50 g white chocolate (1.7 oz), sugar-free
• Pistachios, optional for garnish
• 1 apple and 1 banana, optional for the baked version

Instructions:

No-Bake Version:

1. Prepare the Nut and Oat Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flakes, chopped walnuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, and raisins. Add a pinch of cinnamon to taste for a touch of spice. Then, fold in the chopped dried apricots. This blend of oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruits will give your dessert a hearty texture and rich flavor.

2. Add Honey

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the oat and nut mixture, stirring well to ensure everything is evenly coated. The honey helps bind the ingredients together while adding a natural sweetness to the dessert without refined sugar.

3. Prepare the Chocolate Base

Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl either in the microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring between each) or over a pot of simmering water. Be careful not to overheat it to avoid burning.

Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, pour a small amount into silicone molds or small muffin cups, just enough to cover the bottom of each mold. The white chocolate will act as the base layer, adding a smooth and  creamy finish to your dessert.

4. Add the Oat Mixture

Next, press the oat and nut mixture firmly into the molds on top of the melted chocolate. Make sure to press down well so that the mixture forms a compact layer. This helps the dessert hold together when set.

5. Chill the Cups

Place the filled molds in the refrigerator and let them chill for 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate has fully hardened and the oat mixture is firm. This cooling step is essential for achieving the right texture.

6. Serve

Once chilled, remove the energy cups from the molds. For an extra touch of flavor and crunch, garnish them with chopped pistachios if desired. Now, you have a healthy, no-bake dessert ready to enjoy! These energy cups are perfect for a quick  snack or as a nutritious dessert.

Baked Version (Optional):

1. Prepare the Fruit Base

For a more decadent, baked variation, mash 1 apple and 1 banana together until smooth. Add this fruit mixture to the prepared oat and nut blend from the previous steps. The natural sugars in the fruit will caramelize slightly during baking, adding a delightful sweetness to the dessert.

2. Bake

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Spoon the oat-fruit mixture onto the tray in small portions, shaping them into cookie-sized mounds.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Cooking Tips

• • Customization: Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite nuts, seeds, or dried fruits. Pecans, almonds, and cranberries can also work beautifully.

• Sweetness Level: Adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more or less sweetener, or try using honey or maple syrup instead of raisins.

Storage Tips

• • Refrigeration: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.

• Freezing: This oatmeal bake freezes well. Cut it into portions, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or store in freezer-safe containers. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven or microwave.

Nutritional Facts (Per Serving, based on 8 servings)

• • Calories: Approximately 180 kcal
  • Protein: 4 g

• • Fat: 7 g (mostly from nuts and olive oil)
  • Carbohydrates: 26 g
  • Fiber: 4 g

• Sugars: 5 g (natural sugars from fruits)

Ingredients:

• 500 g (17.6 oz) puff pastry
• 2 apples, grated
• 20 g (1 ½ tbsp) sugar
• 5 g (1 tsp) cinnamon
• 1 egg, for brushing

Optional for Serving:

• Strawberry puree
• Black tea

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling

Start by peeling the 2 apples and grating them into a medium-sized bowl. The grated apples will form the sweet, juicy filling for your pastry. Once grated, mix the apples with 20 g of sugar and 5 g of cinnamon, ensuring that the mixture is evenly combined. The sugar will bring out the natural sweetness of the apples, while the cinnamon adds a warm, spiced flavor.

2. Roll the Dough

On a clean, flat surface, roll out the 500 g puff pastry into a large rectangular shape. Aim for an even thickness so that the pastry bakes uniformly. Once rolled out, evenly spread the prepared apple mixture across the surface of the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.

3. Roll and Slice

Carefully begin rolling the puff pastry from one edge, working slowly to create a tight roll or log shape. Once fully rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the log into small rolls, about 2 cm thick. Each slice should contain layers of pastry and apple filling.

4. Egg Wash

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange the apple rolls on the tray, leaving some space between each roll for them to expand during baking. In a small bowl, beat 1 egg and brush the top of each roll with the egg wash to give them a golden, glossy finish once baked.

5. Bake

Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes. The puff pastry should turn golden brown and crisp, while the apple filling becomes tender and fragrant. Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving.

6. Optional Serving Suggestions

For an extra touch of flavor, serve the warm apple rolls with a side of strawberry puree for dipping. Pair them with a hot cup of black tea to complete the dessert experience. The combination of sweet apple rolls with the tartness of strawberry puree and the richness of tea creates a delightful balance of flavors.
