I am not going to lie, I got bored during the super bowl after half time. I decided to come home and make some cookies. It was one of my darling clients birthday’s today, and so I wanted to make a healthy treat I could take to her. I ended up mixing a bunch of recipes and came up with these delicious little guys.

This is a great recipe for when you have some bananas that are a little past ripe!! These could also easily be frozen, so that you have a healthy treat on hand when needed. They are very light and fluffy, and they will make your home smell delightful.
