Another healthy idea to use up over-ripe bananas. I made these so that my grandson could take them home and enjoy these bars whilst on school holidays.
Although the recipe called for natural seed mix, I made my own mixture. I added a few chopped hazelnuts also.
It did not take long to put together and baked in less time than the recipe called for. Once cool enough, I cut into triangles and melted some chocolate which I then drizzled over the bars, as per the recipe. I shall have to wait to get the tick of approval from my grandson for these baked treats as I can’t eat anything containing bananas.
Shortly after these were delivered to my grandson, I received a phone call thanking me for these delicious treats. I guess that says it all!
