Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • fork
  • baking tin (I use 9x9)

Ingredients

  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 250 g oats (both rolled oats or porridge work)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (or liquid sweetener)
  • 2 tbsp cacao powder (see substitutions)
  • 50 g chopped chocolate (see substitutions)
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 180C (360F). Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl
  • Now add the 250g oats, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp cacao powder, 50g chopped chocolate and mix until well combined
  • Line a square 9x9 baking tray with baking paper. Add the flapjack mix to the baking tray and press down with a fork (I aim for about 1cm) depth) make sure to compress down firmly to hold them together
