Chunky Monkeys

Coming down from the Christmas sweets I am determined to get the whole family back on track. I was a bit more lenient with the kids as far as sugar goes and boy can I tell the difference. Colton was still pretty calm, but Loralei was through the roof for the better part of a week! Needless to say, the whole family will be detoxing this month. I am not nearly as strict on the kids. I still make them treats, and allow them some dark chocolate here and there, but try to go without any added sweeteners and large quantities of sweets. This was something I came up with that was still somewhat sweet and delicious, but only used the 2 bananas as sweetener. I tried one (prior to starting my detox a couple days ago) and they were plenty sweet!

Hope you enjoy as much as my chunky monkey did!

Scoop dough in heaping Tbsp onto a silpat mat (or parchment paper) lined baking sheet and flatten down a bit with the back of the spoon.
