Ingredients
How to make it
- Heat oven to 180°C / 350°F and line a tray with baking paper.
- Mash bananas thoroughly. Stir in peanut butter, cocoa, vanilla and optional syrup until evenly mixed.
- Fold in oats and let stand for 5 minutes. Spoon twelve portions onto the tray and flatten slightly.
- Bake for 16–18 minutes until set. Cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer carefully to a rack.
Make it work in your kitchen
Banana size affects the mixture: it should hold a soft mound rather than run. Add a spoonful of oats if needed. Peanut butter is a major allergen; use only an alternative suitable for the people eating it and expect a different flavor. Keep these moist bites refrigerated once cooled rather than storing them like dry biscuits.
