Method
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper or butter its base.
- Peel and mash your bananas until pureed.
- Mix together the oats, oil, honey, egg whites, nuts, seeds, sultanas and spices in a large mixing bowl.
- Throw it all into the prepared baking tray, ensuring the mixture is flattened. Do this with a spoon, but don’t press too hard or else you’ll have a crunchy and not chewy flapjack.

- Cut into squares whilst still hot and leave to cool.
- Now you’re good to go! Yum yum!
