Ingredients

Wet ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 large bananas)

*I use home-made peanut butter. Roast 1 Kg of peanuts in a 200 degree C oven for 20 minutes, occasionally tossing. Leave to cool and then grind in the food processor for around 15 minutes until creamy.

** Grind rolled, whole-grain oats in a nut-grinder until flour consistency
