Peanut and Marmite oat cookies

Porridge, peanut butter and Marmite. These are all good options for breakfast, and it turns out they taste amazing when you put them together in cookie form! This recipe should make about 16-20 cookies.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of peanuts
• 2 cups of quick oats or equivalent (microwaveable rolled oats/oatmeal)
• 2 cups of water
• 1 Tbsp of canola oil
• 1 tsp of salt
• 1 heaped Tbsp of Marmite

Method

1. Preheat a fan forced oven to 180 degrees Celcius
2. Put the oats in a large bowl and add the water, oil and salt.
3. Microwave as per the directions (I use home brand quick oats and 2 cups takes 4 minutes)
4. Chop up the peanuts until the pieces are about 2mm wide (feel free to cheat and use a food processor, or stand there swearing for 10 minutes as you send peanut fragments flying every time you chop)
5. Take the oats out of the microwave - the resulting porridge should be thick and sticky
6. Add the peanuts to the porridge and stir to combine
   
7. Add the Marmite and stir thoroughly to combine (use a bit of elbow grease, or else you'll end up with chunks of plain porridge in the middle)
8. Using a dessert spoon, take a heaped spoonful of the mix and roll into a ball in your hands. It'll be sticky at first but will dry as the steam comes off
9. Place each ball onto a baking tray and squash down into cookie shape
10. Once you've formed all the cookies, place the tray in the oven for 10 minutes
11. When the cookies are done, take them out and let them cool on the tray

Corn and lettuce salad with Marmite dressing

This is a simple salad with a nice sweet and savoury dressing

Ingredients

• 1 tomato
• 2 handfuls of lettuce (about 8 leaves off the outside of an iceberg lettuce)
• 1/2 a cucumber
• 1/2 a tin of kernel corn
• 1 heaped teaspoon of Marmite

Method

1. Stack the lettuce leaves on each other, chop them in half, and then into 1cm thick strips, and put into a large bowl
2. Dice up the tomato and cucumber, drain the corn, and add all to the bowl with the lettuce
3. Spoon the Marmite in, using bits of lettuce to clean the last bits off the spoon
4. Let sit covered for 20 minutes while the juices all mix in
5. Give the bowl a bit of a shake and a stir - the tomato, cucumber and corn juice should mix with the marmite to make a thin savoury dressing that covers everything
