Before we get to Mackenzie’s post, let’s check in to see where the trail is leading Marc and I today, shall we? Mmmk. Over the weekend we picked up our first resupply bucket that we sent a couple of weeks ago. It would be really difficult to carry all of our food for the entire 16 days, and most people send resupply packages so they don’t have to. I’m most excited about the Monster Cookies I made and sent! Girl needs her choclate.
Today, we are now on day seven of our hike and are hiking from Squaw Lake to Bear Creek – a whopping 14.7 miles! I’m thinking today might be pretty challenging since we did close to 15 miles yesterday too, ending with a good climb to Squaw Lake. Today, however, includes a big descent, followed by another climb. Going down isn’t always as easy at it may seem, though. Descending can be pretty tough on the quads and feet, so who wants to take a guess of how many blisters I’ll have by the end of the day?!
Be sure to follow me on Instagram and Facebook for more updates and photos that I’ll post when we have cell reception!
Hello Greens n’ Chocolate readers! I’m Mackenzie, another crazy Minnesotan who just so happens to be a food blogger at Susie Freaking Homemaker. I create recipes based on my most recent cravings, I wish I could say they were all healthy recipes, but sadly, they are not. I’m excited to be guest posting today on Greens n’ Chocolate while Taylor is away spending some much needed quality time with her hubby!

I have been staring at the raspberry rhubarb crisp that Taylor made back on June 1st for weeks. I can’t get it out of my head. I need to pull the trigger and make it, her recipes are just so tempting. I’m very jealous of the fact that she’s in beautiful California right now, but thankfully the weather here in Minnesota hasn’t been too bad. 😉

I was coming off of a 21 day sugar detox when these muffins happened, so there’s no sugar in them. I PROMISE, they are still sweet, I did add chocolate chips and honey! Bonus: these are quite possibly the easiest muffins I have ever made – very few ingredients, whip them together in a blender or mixer and pop them into the oven! Before you know it, you’ve got a crowd pleaser on your hands!
Ingredients
- 1 cup of peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 medium sized very ripe bananas
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2/3 cup of chopped pecans
- 1 cup of chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Place the peanut butter, eggs, bananas, baking soda, vanilla and honey into your mixer and blend until well combine.
- Stir in your pecans and chocolate chips.
- Line your muffin tin with papers, or grease them well.
- Pour about two tablespoons of batter into each cup.
- Bake at 400 for about 15 minutes.
