Ingredientes
- 1/2 cup mashed banana
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (either smooth or chunky)
- 1/3 cup honey (we used a generous 1/3 cup)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup Kind Clusters (we used the Banana Nut Clusters, but I'm eager to try with the Cinnamon Oat Clusters with Flaxseed)
- 1/2 cup spelt flour (may use all-purpose or whole wheat)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 handful raisins (optional - on occasion we've been known to add chocolate chips)
