A Square Meal in a Square. These fluffy scrumptious squares have it all. (And guess what, they are a lot healthier than those pop-up toaster squares.) My Tiki Squares have oatmeal, soy, almond, coconut or hemp milk, fiber-rich cashews, potassium rch bananas and even some healthy flaxseed four mixed into these maple and agave-sweetened squares. Toasted-on-top coconut flakes give these squares a fun tropical tiki feel. Yummy, healthy and both kid and adult approved. You can bake them once and eat them all week. Easy as dropping something into the toaster!
