Nope I haven’t finally lost my marbles I am here to tell you that you can (& should!) start baking with peas!

I personally adore their bright, naturally sweet flavour, & when blended with nutty oats & a handful of other store cupboard ingredients you pretty much end up with the perfect base for any topping you fancy! Here I added lashings of my favourite organic almond butter but the rest of the batch was equally enjoyed with eggs & avocado, or just munched straight off the cooling rack whilst still warm 🙂

The additional benefit of adding veggies into your baking is of course you gain a whole host of additional nutrients, but you also lessen the need for extra liquid ingredients, sweetening elements, that kind of thing as these provide them instead!

So yep I hope you’ll join me in these delightful little darlings, & if you fancy you can totally bake this as a loaf instead, just increase the cooking time to 30 minutes.
