Ingredients

150g of jumbo oats 2 medium, very ripe bananas 60g of melted butter 60g of cherries 60g of cranberries 40g of sunflower seeds 40g of pumpkin seeds

Sometimes mornings can be a bit of a rush. Make a batch of these granola bars, with no added sugar, in advance for a healthy breakfast on the go.

Preheat the oven to 200C (fan 180C, gas mark 6). Mix the oats, cherries, cranberries and seeds together in a bowl. Pour in the melted butter and mix in thoroughly to make sure the oats are well coated.

On a separate plate, mash the bananas into a pulp with a fork, add to the oat mixture, and mix well. Spread the mixture into a 30x20cm tin and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Once cooked, transfer to a wire rack to cool, then cut into six bars.

Tips Press the mixture into the baking tin well to help the binding process, but not to hard or it may affect the flavour. If your first batch is more crumbly than you'd like, try increasing the amount of mashed banaba to moisten the mixture before baking.
