Snickerdoodle Banana Bars

8/9/2018

We decided to host a small neighborhood get together for National Night Out this past Tuesday in our front yard. It was last minute but it turned out to be so much fun! We brought out our ping pong table, another neighbor brought KanJam and everyone contributed by bringing drinks, popsicles, snacks or dessert. I had a few extra bananas sitting around so I decided to create something for dessert, based off of that. At first I was thinking banana bread muffins or brownies but then I started thinking of snickerdoodles...so I mashed the three ideas together and this is what I got! They were great! They were sweet but not too sweet, light and flavorful.

    About Me

    I am a food loving, activity seeking health coach who resides in Franklin, TN with my husband and two sweet dogs (Lola & Penny).

    Allergies

    I believe everyone should eat balanced and not cut food groups if you don't medically need to. All foods can fit in a healthy diet. Unfortunately, I have to avoid gluten and also limit myself with dairy, so my goal is to provide healthy, gluten-free/dairy-free recipes so EVERYONE can enjoy all foods, even if you do have to cut out certain food groups. My recipes are encouraged for everyone to eat, not just for those with sensitivities/allergies! Most of my recipes can be easily converted by using real dairy and whole-wheat in place of my allergy-free substitutes.
