Banana Veggie Biscuits

Join us

Today is the final day of our third round of #freezertolunchbox 5 day challenge. This edition was all about hidden veggies. If you missed the challenge and want to know when another is running sign up to our notification mailing list!

These biscuits are a variation of my Banana Bread Biscuits I posted a little while ago. When I was making them I thought I would experiment a little with a second batch as I knew I have the hidden veggies challenge coming up.

The great thing about these is you can add whatever veggie you have on hand that needs to be used up such as cauliflower, carrots, parsnips, sweet potato or pumpkin.

Don’t forget to hang out with TRTLMT in all the cool places!
