200 gr very ripe bananas (about 3 pieces)
50 gr coconut sugar or brown sugar
3 tbsp coconut oil or butter
80 gr applesauce
2-3 tbsp peanut butter or chocolate
1 tbsp chia seeds soaked in 3 tbsp water
45 gr sticky rice flour
35 gr cornmeal (fine polenta)
½ tsp baking soda + 1 tsp vinegar
½ tsp ground cinnamon
⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
Mixed toasted nuts and seeds such as pecan nuts almonds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds….

Preheat the oven to 170°C.
Blend the bananas with the coconut oil, applesauce, peanut butter, soaked chia seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt until well blended.
Then add the cornmeal, sticky rice flour, coconut sugar, the wet ingredients and blend to combine with the rest.
Line parchment paper onto a baking tin and sprinkle some toasted nuts and seeds.
Add the batter on top.
Bake for 35 - 45 minutes, or until done. A toothpick inserted in the centre should come out clean.
Place the pan on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares of desired size and enjoy!
These bars can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.

Overripe bananas are perfectly safe to eat. They actually boast higher vitamin C and antioxidant levels. Their peel may change its colour or develop brown spots, but the flesh is still edible.
If the bananas are not ripe enough, place them in the microwave for 4-5 minutes at medium to high heat until the skin is black.
If the texture is too chewy for you and you like a firmer texture, replace the sticky rice flour and polenta with 50 gr buckwheat flour and 30 gr ground almonds.
