prunes are good for:
. diabetes
. iron absorption
. bowel cleansing
. antioxidant superfood
. boosting bone density
. preventing memory loss & alzheimer's

//\ ||| -= you can substitute prunes for whichever dried fruit you wish, or you can leave them out altogether if you so prefer. a different kind of chocolate can be used as well, but dark chocolate is by far the best for you. chopped nuts can be added, & honey can be replaced by a teaspoon of vanilla. banana-wise: the spottier, the sweeter, the better.

//\ ||| -= i've decided to occasionally post solid foods every now & then. & all things, solid or antisolid, will always be kept on the healthier side.

//\ ||| -= i was craving sweets like a mad lady this one evening but there were no ready-made ones in sight. at the time, my kitchen was also conveniently butterless, flourless, eggless, & sugarless, so cookies, cake, & cupcakes were sadly not an option. thinking i was sh*t outta luck, i thankfully stumbled across this super simple recipe that didn't require any of those usual baking essentials:

3 ripe bananas
2 cups oats
1/2 - 1 cup chopped dried fruit
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup chocolate &/or chopped nuts
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla or honey

. mash bananas in bowl with fork until smooth.
. stir in remaining ingredients.
. preheat oven to 350 degrees.
. let mixture sit on counter for 15 minutes.
. grease or line a baking tray.
. drop mixture by spoonfuls & mold into desired shape.
. bake for 20 minutes.
