Gaby's Bakery - Banana Bars

This week I’m going bananas with the boys. This easy recipe is a great way to use up bananas on the turn. I even hide some especially for baking and freeze them for when I need them.

Banana Bars
Gluten free

Ingredients:
125g peanut butter
110g oats
40g dark chocolate chips
2 large or 3 small overripe bananas
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 egg

Method:
Preheat oven to 180⁰C and line a 20 x 20cm baking tray with parchment paper.

Beat the egg, then mash the bananas and add, continuing to beat until mixed. Add all the other ingredients and beat until everything is combined. Pour the mixture into the prepare tray and bake for appx 20 mins.

Once ready take out and leave to cool on a wire rack.

Enjoy.
