Banana and Dark Chocolate Flapjack

This is a rich and squidgy flapjack, full of nuts and oats providing long lasting energy. You can also make this without the topping, which I often do as a really quick snack prep for the week ahead.

Makes 8 slices

Ingredients

Flapjack

150g banana

50g nut butter

25g maple syrup

150g oats

10g cacoa nibs (optional)

Topping

25g smooth cashew butter

10g cocoa powder

30g maple syrup

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees. Line a 20cm square tray.

2. In a bowl, mash the banana. Add the nut butter and syrup and mix well. Add in the oats and cacoa nibs then pour into the tray, and push down to level out.

3. Bake for 15 minutes.

4. For the topping, mix together the cashew butter, cocoa powder and syrup, then spread evenly over the flapjack once cooled. Slice into 8 and serve.
