Pecan, Cinnamon & Banana Oat Bars

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.

Mash the bananas into a rough paste in a bowl and stir in the maple syrup. Add the oats, cinnamon and pecans and stir again, then use your hands to fully combine.

Press tightly into a small, shallow baking tin and smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and slice into bars while still warm, before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
