- 20 x 20 cm baking tin
- sauce pan
Ingredients
- 2 bananas

- Spread half of the mixture into the lined baking tray. Squish down with the back of a spoon.

Notes
- For a vegan strawberry flapjack, use coconut oil instead of butter, and maple syrup instead of honey.
- Unsweetened applesauce can also be used as a replacement for mashed banana. Use 150ml applesauce to replace the 2 bananas.
