    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    • In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas and mix them with honey, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
    • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined, then fold in the chopped nuts.
    • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out with a spatula if necessary.

    • Allow the bars to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Arby’s Just Made Its Cheesesteak Permanent — And Discontinued Its Burgers to Do It

    Cheesesteaks can be a surprisingly reasonable fast food choice when you look at the macros — thinly shaved beef is a lean protein, and Arby’s version skips the garlic spread of the 2025 model in favor of caramelized onions, which cuts some of the added fat. If you’re watching your sodium, the Cooper Cheese is the biggest contributor — asking for light cheese is an easy modification at the counter. Pairing the sandwich with water instead of a fountain drink keeps the overall meal more balanced, and skipping a side entirely is a practical option given the sandwich’s size.

Its minimal processing preserves the bran and germ layers intact, making every serving a meaningful source of B vitamins, manganese, and plant-based iron alongside its impressive fiber content.
