Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180C / Fan 160C
Step 2
Mash your bananas together in a large bowl (the riper the bananas are the easier this will be.)
Step 3
Add the eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix together well.
Step 4
Add the oats, baking powder and salt to the bowl, stir well to ensure the ingredients are fully combined.
Step 5
 If you are using walnuts add them to the mixture now and stir gently, you can also use pecans instead or add some chocolate chips instead of nuts.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into a lined baking tin, a loaf tin is ideal but use what you have.
Step 7
Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until it looks golden on top.
*This will keep for a few days in an airtight container.
If you prefer a smoother consistency you can blend your porridge oats in a food processor to make an ‘oat flour’.
If you have more bananas that are over-ripe try slicing them and freezing the slices. Add to smoothies, blend in a food processor to make banana ice cream, or save for when you want to cook this recipe – simply thaw and drain the excess water before mashing.*
