📝 Ingredients
160 g oat flakes
80 g walnuts
80 g prunes (optional)
200 g bananas (about 2 bananas)
100 g chocolate (dark or milk)
👩🍳 Instructions
Toast the oat flakes:
Heat a pan over medium heat and add the oat flakes. Toast for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until fragrant.
Prepare the nuts and fruit:
Finely chop the walnuts and, if using prunes, chop them too.
Peel and mash the bananas until smooth.
Combine ingredients:
In a bowl, combine toasted oats, chopped walnuts, prunes (if using), and mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.
Shape and bake:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Press the mixture evenly into the pan, smoothing the surface.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
Melt chocolate:
While the bars are baking, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth.
Finish dessert:
Once the bars are baked and slightly cooled, pour the melted chocolate over the top, distributing it evenly. Sprinkle more chopped walnuts on top for an extra touch, if desired.
Place the pan in the refrigerator to harden the chocolate.
Serve:
Once the chocolate has hardened, cut the bars and enjoy!
