This was one of the first recipes I created for this book, and it is still one of my favorites. I started cooking these to fuel my running when I was training for a  half marathon, and they've become a weekend staple ever since. A thick stack of them is my dream breakfast, especially when they're piled high with caramelized banana bites, some extra maple syrup and a big dollop of crunchy almond butter. There’s really nothing about these that tastes healthy; they feel totally delicious and indulgent.
