Gaby's Bakery - Apple, Banana & Maple Tray Bake

Tray bakes are great because they’re usually simple to make, create an abundance of treats for the effort put in and leave less washing up. I prefer to bring sweetness into these recipes from fruits where I can, and this one has a little added coconut sugar.

Apple, Banana & Maple Tray Bake

Ingredients:
3 overripe bananas
1 apple (peeled, cored and diced)
75g maple syrup
40g coconut oil (melted)
125ml almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract
150g oat flour (grind your oats)
140g oats
30g coconut sugar
1½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
40g chopped pecans (extra for sprinkling on top)
40g chopped dates

Method:
Preheat oven to 170⁰C. Grease and line an 8x8” baking tray.

In a large bowl whisk together the bananas, apple, maple syrup, coconut oil, eggs, milk and vanilla until well incorporated. Then add the oat flour, oats, coconut sugar, baking powder, bicarb of soda and cinnamon and beat until all ingredients have just come together. Fold in the pecans and dates. Pour mixture into the prepared tray, sprinkle with pecans and place in the oven for appx 30-40 mins, until firm to touch and a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Take out the oven and leave to cool in the tray before placing on a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy

Professionally, I wouldn't touch 99% of the hairbrushes for sale on the market. I don't know what goes on inside big companies. One might make plastic household items like bowls and bins, and maybe someone thinks, “Hey, let's make a mould for a hairbrush...

For a long time, the ‘Butterfly’ haircut reigned as the most requested style. But in 2025 and the early months of 2026, ‘Bobs’ took over, and we loved seeing Lily Collins, Ji-young Yoo and Kathy Bates embrace different versions of the trend. From French bobs to blunt cuts and box bobs, each of them wore the style beautifully.
