My PIC’s pistachio cookies, just outta the oven.

I wanted to get rid of 4 overripe bananas and not bake something overwhelmingly sweet after being completed desserted out over the last week. I significantly reduced the sugar and honey. Batter tastes sweet enough. I also only had nonfat yogurt. We’ll see how they turn out. Figured they’d make a good grab and go breakfast with some almond butter on top.

Will do!!

I really like these. Especially for a muffin made with whole wheat flour, they’re on the fluffier/lighter side - not too dense. I was careful not to overmix. Cutting the sugar and honey in half was a good level of sweetness for me - I may even cut it more next time. The bananas were really ripe and sweet and didn’t need a lot of sugar. Disclaimer that I ate it while still a bit warm so I’ll let you know if my opinion changes by tomorrow morning!

Last sourdough bake of the year. This one is part whole wheat. Got some tools for Christmas (baker, bannetons, lame) that have helped, but still a way to go.
