How much easier does a recipe get than throwing a bunch of ingredients into a blender and popping them into the oven? It doesn’t. That’s why these are amazing. And healthy (oats, flaxseed, nut butter, bananas… doesn’t get any better than that for a protein, healthy fat, and fiber punch). Ok so the chocolate chips aren’t exactly “healthy….” live a little, alright!
The more healthy baking that I do, the more I realize how freakin’ versatile bananas are. Can I get a shout out for bananas who naturally sweeten the shiz out of everything wonderful in my life right now?!?! And they are packed with potassium (goodbye muscle cramps and high blood pressure), fiber (hello healthy gut and satiety), and vitamin B6 (goodbye PMS cramps… at least that’s what some research says… I believe it). Try these things out! You won’t regret it. Promise.
