Move over, clif bar! These things are too good – you’ll have to behave and try not to eat too many at once!
In a saucepan, combine:
½ cup NATURAL peanut butter* (smooth works best) or almond butter
4 Tbl brown sugar
4 Tbl powdered milk (powdered rice or soy milk also works)
4 Tbl water
1 tsp. cinnamon
Stir constantly until mixture is hot. Remove from heat and stir in…
2 cups rolled oats (NOT quick/instant)
2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 large, very ripe bananas
1/3 cup applesauce
¼ cup honey
½ cup soymilk
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. In a blender, puree the bananas; add the applesauce, honey, and soymilk. Mix well. Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Fill paper muffin cups with the batter and bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until lightly brown and firm.
