Eat This, Not That is sharing the surprising ingredient that makes cookies healthier.  And you’ll never guess what it is….the ingredient: a banana peel.  Yep…do’t throw those banana peels away any more!!

In a recent study, banana peel flour was added to cookie batter and baked. And it reportedly satisfied people more.  They added, “On top of that, the cookies were healthier than they would have been otherwise thanks to the fact that the banana peel flour offers fiber, magnesium, and potassium, as well as antioxidant compounds.”

What secret ingredient do you like to use when cooking? Do you replace any bad ingredients with a healthy alternative?
