Delicious treat, not overly sweet. Fills the house with delicious smells! Easy to make. These were born from a perfect storm of “ingredients on hand,” trying to make yummy healthier treats with those over-ripe bananas, and inspiration from a coconut-banana treat I tried from Thailand. These ended up a big hit. Perfect for taking on our hikes. The only “added” sugar comes from the dried cranberries. (Plus what is naturally in bananas & plain yogurt.) Try them & you’ll understand why we call them trail biscuits! If you have any left by the time you hit the trail.
