  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon

  • 3 tablespoons of nut butter- I used peanut butter this time but have also made these with almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 medium banana, mashed
  • ½ cup of grated carrot (I use a medium grate but you can also finely grate them)
  • ¼ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans plus more for topping if desired (you can also omit the nuts completely)
