Banana, sultana & sunflower bites

I always struggle to find a nut-free snack to give my daughter to take to school for break as most cereal contain nuts and they’re banned! There’s only one brand that she can take in, so obviously she’s pretty sick of them now! So I thought I’d try make a bar that is vaguely healthy, but not too healthy…I’ll let you know the verdict!

Ingredients

• 100g coconut oil

• 3 ripe bananas

• 2 tbsp honey

• 250g porridge oats

• 100g sultanas

• 100g toasted sunflower seeds

Method

• Preheat the oven to 180ºc.

• Toast the sunflower seeds for 6-7 minutes, until starting to lightly brown.

• Line a 20 x 20cm baking tin with baking parchment.

• Melt the coconut oil in a small pan, or in the microwave

• Mash the bananas in a large bowl, or use a mixer and blitz for a minute or so.

• Add the honey and mix well.

• Now add the rest of the ingredients and mx until combined.

• Slide the tin into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown around the edges.

• Cool and then cut into squares. I used a bread knife to get clean starting lines.
