Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180°C and line a small tin, about 15 cm square, or a loaf tin with baking paper.
  2. Mash the bananas in a bowl until almost smooth. The riper and spottier they are, the sweeter the bars.
  3. Stir in the peanut butter, then the oats, cinnamon, pumpkin seeds, the dates chopped small and a pinch of salt. It should make a thick, sticky mixture.
  4. Press it firmly into the tin with the back of a wet spoon, right into the corners, about 2 cm deep.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden on top and firm when you press the middle.
  6. Cool completely in the tin, then lift out and cut into 4 bars. They keep in a tub for 4 days.

Tip The riper the bananas, the sweeter the bars. Wrap them one by one and they travel well in a bag.
