This recipe is a winner with babies, children and adults alike. Great for an afternoon snack or a lunch box treat and so quick and easy to make. Also ideal for using up those black bananas sitting in the fruit bowl that no one wants to eat but you can't bring yourself to throw away.

Kinder Kitchen Yummy additions:
If there is no history of a nut allergy in the family, you could replace 1oz of the flour for ground hazelnuts or almonds to the mixture. For chocolate lovers, you could add 50g of finely chopped dark chocolate to the mixture.
