  • 250 g rolled oats
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 250 ml milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of salt
  • 150 g frozen berries
  1. Get ready. Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and line a 20 × 30 cm tin with baking paper.
  2. Mix. Mix everything except the berries, then gently fold them in, straight from frozen.
  3. Bake. Spread in the tin and bake for 30 minutes until golden and firm in the middle. (30:00)
  4. Cool and cut. Cool completely in the tin, then cut into 12 bars.

Chef’s tip

The browner the bananas, the sweeter the bars.

Storage

Keeps 5 days in the fridge or 2 months frozen.

Swap it

Use grated apple instead of berries.
