Banana Flapjack

This recipe is great for using up ripe bananas that nobody likes and get left in the fruit bowl. You can add nuts, seeds, chocolate drops and other dried fruit too; create your own variety. Ideal for popping in packed lunch boxes and snacking on mid-morning when you are in need of a sweet fix.
