These little gems have no added sugar and no oil. Shhhhhhhh! And no, they don’t taste like cardboard. Or Grape Nuts. I swear. Last weekend, I really had an itch for banana bread. I made a fabulous one for the boyf and the healthiest thing about it was the bananas. But who cares if it’s called best-ever banana bread, right?
