DELUXE FROSTED
BANANA SQUARES
These are totally delicious. Great for
children as an after school snack! I still have some in the fridge. Every morning I enjoy one or two of them with my tea. Yum...and I've lost weight! Now that's pretty cool. Actually, I am doing intermittent fasting...which means I have breakfast and lunch and stop eating around 3 pm or so. It works for me! Eating 4 or 5 meals a day has always been what dietitians recommend, but frankly it puts weight on me.
Note: Please feel free to use your own favorite sweetener in my recipes! It is true that people with sensitive bladders will most likely not be able to tolerate erythritol.
