In addition to lunch, my son has to bring snacks to school everyday. I have been looking for ways to provide him healthy food options, that don’t come wrapped in so much plastic or foil lined packages, because, you know, we care about the environment, too =)
Since my training to become a Healthy Advocate, and help people to find their best version of themselves by eating well and exercising, I started cooking more and trying new recipes.
For my first recipe, on the blog, I am sharing this delicious banana muffins made with wholesome ingredients. They are great for breakfast and snacks. I hope you enjoy them, as much as we do.
You have the option of using a paper liner or using cooking spray. We opted of not using paper liner this time.
