I don’t know about you guys, but starting this weekend my schedule is jam-packed with holiday parties – LOVE IT!  Many of the parties are “pot luck – style.” So in an effort to avoid overindulging in high calorie desserts, I’ve been researching some “Healthier Holiday Treats” that I can prepare and bring to the festivities.  Below are my Top 5 Favorites!  Hope you love them too.  Enjoy! xoxo, Brit

  1. These look delicious! 🙂 I’ve got one more for you– 2 ripe bananas, 1 c quick oats, 1/2 c chocolate chips, & a heaping spoonful of peanut butter. Mix well, plop onto cookie sheet, bake at 350 for 15 mins. They taste a bit like chocolate chip banana bread and if you used organic ingredients? They’d practically be good for you. 🙂
