Donal's Notes

Really chewy bars, made in a flash and make use of those really ripe bananas in the fruit bowl. The drizzle of chocolate is definitely worth it!

Method

1

Preheat the oven to 170°C / gas mark 5. Grease and line a tray bake tin with softened butter and baking parchment.

2

Peel and mash the bananas and set aside.

3

Into a saucepan, add the unsalted butter, honey, maple syrup, caster sugar, vanilla extract and almond or peanut butter and melt together over a low heat.

4

Add the hot mixture to a bowl with the rolled oats and bananas and stir together. Give everything a good stir before tipping into the tin and baking in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden. Allow to cool.

5

Put the dark chocolate into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water, not letting the bottom of the bowl touch the water. Melt gently, stirring occasionally.

6

Use a dessert spoon to drizzle the molten chocolate over the flapjack, scatter with peanuts and allow to set. Cut into slices to serve.

Really easy to make, kids helped, and they taste delicious. Sweet and lovely soft texture.

Really easy to make but I thought they would be more like a biscuit rather than a cake but very nice.
