A great way to start the day. These bars are full of nuts and seeds so are a great way of boosting your intake of iron, zinc, magnesium and fibre. Buckwheat adds extra protein and magnesium.

Ingredients

2 very ripe bananas
2 medium eggs, lightly beaten
4 Tbsp. tahini
1 tsp. vanilla paste
4 Tbsp. maple syrup
100 g (3 ½oz) gluten-free rolled oats
100 g (3 ½oz) raw buckwheat
75 g (3oz) mixture of seeds
50 g (2oz) sesame seeds
50 g (2oz) blanched almonds, roughly chopped
50 g (2oz) pitted dates, roughly chopped
25 g (1oz) dried goji berries or dried cranberries
50 g (2oz) dark chocolate (at least 70%), melted (optional)

Directions

1. Step 1
  Preheat oven to 190°C (170°C fan) mark 5. Line a 23cm (9in) square tin with baking parchment.
2. Step 2
  In a large bowl, mash the bananas and mix in the eggs, tahini, vanilla and maple syrup until well combined. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to coat everything well. Transfer this mixture to the lined baking tin and press to an even thickness.
3. Step 3
  Bake for 25-30min until golden and turning crispy. Score into 10 bars while the bake is still warm, then allow to cool completely in the tin.
4. Step 4
  Once cool, cut into bars and drizzle with the melted chocolate, if you like.
