I just made this recipe up because I needed a snack for my kids to eat after their swimming lessons today, and we had an old banana. I've made things like this before, from other people's recipes, but this one, I made up. These would be tasty for breakfast-on-the-go too.
PB&B Bites
1 ripe banana -- mashed with a fork
1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter of your choice)
1 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup chocolate chips (or raisins, dried cranberries, currants, etc)
Preheat oven to 375.
Mix banana, peanut butter, and oats together thoroughly. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded spoonful on a cookie sheet and bake 9-12 minutes, until edges are brown. Allow to cool on pan 2 minutes before removing from baking sheet.
Makes about 15 large or 20+ small bites.
I love this idea!!! So nutritious, yummy and fun! And you can use up those ripe bananas, too.
