Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 6 Medjool dates
- 100g prunes, chopped
- 200g porridge oats
- 5 tbsp cocoa or carob powder
- 5 tbsp ground flaxseeds
- 4 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 medium courgette, grated
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 250ml milk
- 1sp vanilla extract
- 5 tbsp peanut or other nut butter to swirl
Method
- Make the date & banana syrup. Add the mashed banana, dates and prunes to a pan with 300ml water, then cook over a low heat for about 10 mins, stirring as you go, until it’s mushy and syrupy (some lumps are totally fine).
- Add the date & banana syrup to a baking dish along with the rest of the ingredients.
- Add more milk if yours feels a little dry.
- Mix well and swirl the nut butter on top.
- Bake at 180c for 30-40 mins (the lower end if you like it more gooey).
- Allow to cool a little, then cut into portions and enjoy with a dollop of live yoghurt and berries - or store in the fridge or freezer for future breakfasts.
