I usually get the itch to bake around November - the holidays, joy, the big sweaters that hide those pounds - but I was looking around my kitchen and saw three bananas that were practically all black. After spending $300 on groceries today, I was really annoyed at wasting food, so I decided to try my hand and throwing something together...and that's what this recipe is, me literally throwing stuff into my KitchenAid and hoping for the best. Turns out, they're pretty darn delicious! Bonus point for a no-waster! Sad part, they are really not healthy, so don't be fooled by the two main ingredients...bananas and oatmeal, keep these portions in check!
