Oaty banana bites

I don’t really know what to call these. They’re soft like cake but oaty like a flapjack. Whatever they are, they’re a great alternative to banana bread for using up your over ripe bananas. They couldn’t be easier to make and using only the natural sweetness of the bananas and dates, they’re fairly healthy too. I got the recipe from hedgecombers.com but adapted the quantities slightly to use up ingredients, rather than being left with annoyingly small quantities.

Love cooking food that I can share with friends. Never happier than when I’ve got people over for dinner enjoying great food (and great wine of course). I’m a big fan of seasonal ingredients and coming up with quick and fresh ideas for during the busy working week.
