<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">1/3 cup peanut butter</span></i><br />

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">1/2 tsp each, vanilla & cinnamon extract</span></i><br />
3/4 cup all-purpose/whole wheat flour<br />
1 tsp baking powder<br />
1/4 tsp salt<br />
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)<br />
<b>Directions:</b><br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.<br />
In a smallish bowl, mix the mashed banana with oats, flax seed, milk, agave, extracts, and cinnamon.<br />
In another bowl, beat together the butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar.<br />
Beat the banana mixture into the peanut butter. Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold in the chocolate chips (if using).<br />
Next, place small spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet and flatten a bit because these will not really spread.<br />
Bake for 10-12 minutes. (Mine were a little dry after 12, though.) Allow to cool on sheet before transferring to a plate. Indulge.<br />

Why can't I escape Jersey?? It was unusually cold, maybe because friday was the day i decided to wear shorts for the first time this season. After watching my younger brother's baseball game, we made a quick stop in town, before getting dropped off at my friend's for a sleepover. It's important to have at least a small group of friends throughout high school, because we are so easily misguided (ha ha).<br />
Saturday, my mom and I drove into town to pick up dog food and go procrastination shopping (:<br />

We moved to the Delaware riverside 6 years ago! I secretly wish that we stay here at least until after I go to college.<br />

Maybe to relieve some stress with writing?...yeah that's it. As with most blogs I guess, themes won't be predictable. I can promise that everything on here will aim to improve the lifestyle of my readers.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Over the next two weeks, I will be going to Six Flags, taking the SAT's, and the AP English Exam. Hopefully will fit in some personal stories/foodstuffs for ya :)</span><br />

Two people came out from their hiding spot thinking that I had found them. I felt like I had doubled my productivity. MLIA.</span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
