Oat-banana-chocolate protein super healthy "cookies"!

HEALTHY SNACK!

Yes yes, they are. I had some bananas that were perrrfect for baking, and I wanted to use them to make something healthy...a healthy snack!

So check these out, I might even eat them for a quick breakfast on-the-go!

What makes them healthy you ask? Here are the ingredients:

Bananas

unsweetened applesauce (just a little)

Old Fashioned Oats

dried figs, cut up

2 scoops chocolate protein powder (no added sugar)

cinnamon

vanilla

That's it!

The oats for a slow-digesting carb, high in fiber from the figs and oats, protein from the protein powder, a little healthy fat from the protein powder and the oats, and the taste of chocolate!

They were an experiment, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but they actually taste pretty good!! The touch of sweetness from the bananas melds really well with the oats and protein powder! And they're chocolate!!

I wouldn't really call them a cookie, but that's what they look like...I think I'll try them with peanut or almond butter spread on top too :)

Healthy "treat" = success!

I'd love to know what healthy recipes/treats other people make! I love experimenting!

Banana Bundt Breakfast Bread!

Happy Weekend!

We had a lovely potluck senior brunch this morning! I brought this!

It's my usual whole wheat, fat free banana bread recipe, but I wanted to make it look a little more special! Hence, Banana Bundt Bread, dusted with powdered sugar! I suppose you could call it cake...I brought along some honey cinnamon cream cheese frosting to go with it too :)

Yum yum....

Pretty with my roommate's flowers in the pic!

Enjoy!

Banana chocolate chip muffins anyone?!

Happy Friday!

In keeping with my goal of baking at least one treat per week, I chose to make a good ol' fav of mine- banana chocolate chip muffins. BUT, with a slightly healthy twist: 100% whole whole and IF they didn't have chocolate chips, they'd be fat-free. So think of it as a nutritious banana muffin, with a kick of chocolate and a sprinkling of turbinado sugar on top.

Mini-sized, cute, you can just pop 'em in your mouth! The perfect balance, right?

No one can ever tell that they are whole wheat and have a fat-free batter!

:)

Enjoy!

Have a great weekend!

Zucchini Spice Cake! YUM

This is DELICIOUS! A wonderful, moist, flavorful spice cake. And full of zucchini! Perfect as a breakfast bread, snack, or even dessert!

Brownies, muffins, and mac & cheese!

Ok so this is a catch-up post for the things I've been making for everyone to enjoy during finals week!

These are my DELICIOUS homemade, fudgy, chocolate chunk brownies! There are also brownie-cookie bars too!




These are tasty, very healthy muffins. They are oatmeal and whole wheat, fat-free muffins. Some of them have apple butter in the middle. A delicious and nutritious part of a healthy breakfast :)!


And finally, this is homemade mac & cheese with breadcrumbs on top. So so tasty-- you'll never want the box kind again!

Hope you're hungry!

Hey there!
I hope you're ready to see some yummmmmy goodies!
I'm going to start with a bunch of treats right in a row now to get you all caught up with my baking life! After that, I'll keep you updated as I bake!

So, let's start with chocolate chip banana bread. This is a moist, delicious quick bread that can be served for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack! Personally, I like it toasted with peanut butter!

And of course, the chocolate chips can be omitted, making a wonderful regular banana bread!
