The GOOD Stuff!!

Last night I was home and it occurred to me that I haven’t baked in a very long time. So I figured I would put my apron on and surprise my husband. I was debating between brownies and blueberry banana bread. Of course I could not decide so I went with both! 🙂

As much as these may look unhealthy they are 100% healthy and guilt free. YAY!! After filling my house with the amazing smell of baked blueberry banana bread and brownies and having them approved by my mom and husband, I knew I had to share. I hope you enjoy these yummy treats!!

All the ingredients I used were organic. Remember always have fun especially when baking yummy goodness and feel free to make any substitutions you would like!!
