I love Valentine’s Day and I’ve always loved making something extra cute and yummy for Oscar and Zara to celebrate. I don’t usually buy Valentine’s gifts because it’s not about the money you spend on this specific day, rather I love making treats and things, putting in extra love and effort.
This Valentine’s Day is a little different because it is the first one without my main man Oscar. My love for him goes far deeper than I could ever explain. My love for him will never fade either, he is constantly around me in all sorts of ways.
So this Valentine’s Day I will be making his two most favourite treats for Zara to enjoy and remember her brother by…
Frozen Yoghurt Treats:
These are so easy it’s frightful and I can bet you have the ingredients in your fridge right now.
Ingredients
1 banana
A handful of strawberries (fresh or frozen)
2 tbs plain yoghurt
Directions
Add all your ingredients to a blender and blitz them up until smooth and creamy. Simply pour the mixture into little heart shaped molds and place them in the freezer until frozen.
Oscar could sit and eat a hundred of these little treats if I let him and because all the ingredients are mixed together he had no idea he was eating healthy fruit-haha!
Baked Treats:
These are just as easy but do require a bit more time because of the baking part.
Ingredients
1 banana
1 tbs peanut butter
1 egg
1 cup flour
Directions
Mash together your banana and egg then whisk in the peanut butter until completely combined together. Then add your flour and mix until a dough forms. Roll your dough out onto a floured surface and using heart shaped cookie cutters, cut the treats and place them onto a greased baking tray. Bake at 180 degrees for +-20 minutes or until lightly golden and cooked. Allow the treats to cool completely.
To decorate
This is the fun part and because it’s Valentine’s Day it’s extra fun to decorate them. Make a batch of pink icing and a batch of white using 2 tbs cornstarch and 4 tbs water. Mix it into a smooth and creamy icing. Then decorate as you wish. You could also just smear some peanut butter over the treats too – that proves to be just as yummy but not as fancy 🙂
Whether you decide to make one or both treats for your furry loves this Valentine’s Day, we hope they enjoy Oscar’s favourites!
