Banana Flapjack
This easy gluten free Banana Flapjack with peanut butter is the perfect snack! Deliciously chewy and great for lunchboxes and picnics.
Servings: 16 squares
Ingredients
- 90 g unsalted butter
- 90 g golden syrup
- 90 g dark brown sugar
- 100 g peanut butter
- 2 ripe bananas (approx 300g)
- 300 g gluten free oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180‘C / Gas 4/ 160’C Fan. Line an 8-inch/20cm square baking tin with baking paper and set aside.
- Peel the bananas and mash them up in a bowl, using a fork.
- To a large saucepan, add the butter, sugar, syrup and peanut butter. Heat over a low heat, stirring constantly, until the butter has melted. Remove from the heat.
- Add the mashed banana and mix until combined. Then add the oats and mix again until there are no dry patches.
- Pour the mixture into the lined baking tray and use a spoon to press the mixture down as compact as possible, and right into the corners and edges of the pan.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Once baked, remove from the oven and onto a cooling rack. Cool to room temperature before cutting into 8 bars or 16 squares.
Notes
- Weighing Scales vs Cups: You can toggle this recipe card to convert the ingredients into cups. However, I always recommend using weighing scales – these are cheap to buy and much more accurate. And in gluten free baking, a tiny variation can make a huge difference!
