Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a 20 x 20cm square tin with baking parchment.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter and honey. Stir until smooth. You could also use a blender/food processor for this, which would make the recipe super quick to make!

Step 3

Add the oats and milled seeds and mix well until fully combined.

Step 4

Fold in the dark chocolate chips and stir through evenly. (Don’t do this step in the food processor as you don’t want the chips to break down).

Step 5

Press the mixture firmly into the lined tin using the back of a spoon. Compacting it well helps it hold together once baked.

Step 6

Bake for 20–25 minutes, until lightly golden at the edges and set in the centre.

Step 7

Allow to cool before slicing into 16 squares or 12 large ones.

Step 8

Store in the freezer and defrost as needed – great for kids lunchbox!
