Banana Oat Slice

September 7, 2014

I've been valiantly snacking on all the bananas that brand it hither yesteryear vege box, but the close recent cohort were a item challenge - they numbered a dozen as well as were all destined to ripen at exactly the same time. This called for some serious baking. Not only subbing an egg inwards a vegan cake, or fifty-fifty a measure banana bread; no, I needed Clotilde Dusoulier's four-banana breakfast slice.

With a distich of substitutions - kokosnoot flour instead of almond flour, peanut butter instead of almond butter - I establish that I had everything I needed correct at home. It all mixed together into a thick dough amongst petty fuss as well as baked inwards exactly the directed time. It's simultaneously sort of banana-gooey inwards the middle as well as crispy-oaty on the outside, as well as impossible to spell neatly.

Bananas as well as kokosnoot as well as chocolate teach good together, but I establish that the flavor hither was lacking a petty oomph. The sweetness is really understated, as well as I wonder if some dried fruit mightiness create the trick. Alternatively I'd catch swapping out ane of the bananas for some extra peanut butter. I'm at some run a jeopardy of only converting it into this other spell recipe, but I reckon it's worth persevering. There's the foundation of a fine everyday snack, non to cite a banana-buster, here.
