I had Monday mostly to myself with no real plans to speak of. I cleaned a little, took a bubble bath (it's a hard life, right?) and then I made these:

They consist of an egg, some peanut butter, and a banana. And, of course, chocolate chips. We mustn't forget the chocolate chips.

And, boy are they delicious! 

So simple to make and I can pretend they are sort of healthy ... or at least not terribly unhealthy. 

Aaannnddd since mine is the house where bananas go to die, I needed something to do with those extra ripe bananas besides freezing them for banana bread or smoothies. Fortunately for me, you can't really taste them in this recipe because I'm not a banana fan. I only eat them because they are packed with nutrients.

Enter this recipe from Averie Cooks. It really was as simple as she said and just as tasty as she claims.

In spite of that, I was easily able to make these mini muffins. I hate baking in my German oven - I still haven't worked out how to use it properly and most things burn - but these were easy peasy.

I followed her directions almost exactly except that I didn't have any vanilla extract on hand (what?!? how did that happen?) and I had to bake them a little longer than her recipe called for (again with the weird oven I don't know how to use properly). 

This will be a go-to recipe for us. Good for quick breakfasts or sweet treats and easy to pop into a ziplock bag for road trip snacks.

Oh, and did I mention that they are under 100 calories each? I don't usually count calories but that caught your attention, didn't it? Now, go on over to Averie Cooks and try this recipe! You won't be sorry.
