Refined sugar free flapjack

A flapjack without refined sugar or butter that gets its sweetness from dates and a banana. Delicious from 6 months to 106 years old! Gluten free too.

Makes about 16, but depends how large you cut them.

Ingredients:
• 1 ripe banana
• 150g dates
• 70ml boiling water
• 125g raisins
• 160g oats

Preheat the oven to 160C/gas mark 2 and pop the kettle on. Line a 20cm x 20cm tin.

Peel the banana and break into pieces. Place in a jug with the dates and boiling water. Leave for 5 minutes. Use a stick blender/foodprocessor or smoothie maker to blitz the banana mixture to a fine purée, being careful not to spray yourself with boiling water.

Combine the puree, oats and raisins in a bowl until well mixed then press into the prepared tin. Bake for 30 minutes until the edges are starting to brown and the top feels firm. Remove from the tin and cool on a wire rack then cut with a very sharp knife once cool.

Store in a tin for up to 5 days. Freeze, well wrapped for up to a month. Defrost at room temperature before serving.
