This easy recipe, with ingredients commonly found in the kitchen, makes delicious bars. Not only is it healthy, but an ideal snack to pack in a lunch-box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 (or approximately 590 g) large ripe bananas, peeled<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 cup smooth peanut butter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bd cup cocoa powder, plus extra for the garnish<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>1. Preheat the oven to 180 \u00b0C and line a 20 cm square baking tin with baking paper. Grease the paper with non-stick spray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. In a large bowl, add six of the bananas and mash with a fork until a creamy texture is achieved. Cut the remaining banana into thin slices and set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Add the peanut butter and stir together until well-combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Sieve the cocoa powder into the bowl. Gently fold the cocoa powder into the banana-peanut butter mixture until well-combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Spoon the batter into the prepared tin, arranging the sliced banana on top, 2-3 cm apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Bake for 15-20 min, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the banana bread comes out clean. The banana bread is baked when the centre of the pan does not jiggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Allow the banana bread to cool completely before removing it from the baking tin. Refrigerate for 20 min until slightly cooled to speed up the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Cut the banana bread into even-sized portions and transfer to a serving platter. This has a lovely, fudgy texture!9. To serve, garnish with a light dusting of cocoa powder and some fresh strawberries, or pack in a lunch-box. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
