Satisfy your sweet tooth with this better-for-you nutrient dense dessert with benefits. Naturally sweetened with banana and made with nutrient-dense peanuts and peanut butter. 1 handful of peanuts (a ~1 ounce serving) contains 7 grams of plant protein and 19 different vitamins & minerals including B vitamins, vitamin E, zinc, copper, magnesium, potassium.
For the base of this recipe, I used whole grain oats which are a good source of filling fiber and B vitamins which help convert the food we eat into energy.
Feel free to make these ahead of time and enjoy all week long. you also omit the chocolate chips if you want to lower the sugar content and make them picnic-friendly.
