4. Baked Apple Pie Roll Ups

Sometimes healthy eating means allowing ourselves to eat sweet treats in moderation. What better way to snack on some sweets than with these mini wanna-be apple pies? They take mere moments to prep and not very long at all in the oven. Warm crispy cinnamon sugar rolls with a sweet apple pie filling will become a family favorite. Top them with ice cream and caramel for a perfect weeknight treat. While this recipe calls for apple pie filling, you can easily fill them with whatever you’d like! Time to bust out the cream cheese & sugar or better yet, cherry pie filling.

6. Honey Banana Muffins

Time and time again, I find myself buying bananas. Time and time again I find myself forgetting to eat those bananas and having a freezer full of brown bananas. Have you ever had a banavalanche? A mass of frozen bananas unloading from your freezer each time you open the door? That’s your sign it’s time to bake something. Toss a few whole (solid) bananas in a bowl of warm water to thaw, then squeeze them out one end (like milking a cow) until their super soft innards slither out into the mixing bowl.
