Chewy oaty banana bars

After making my healthier flapjack recipe, this recipe was supposed to be another variation on healthy flapjacks.

They turned out far more soft and chewy than planned so I don't think I can call them flapjacks really.

 With no refined sugar, they are sweetened with banana and raisins.

 Ingredients:

250g oats
3 bananas (300g when peeled and mashed)
50g coconut oil (melted)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Half a tsp bicarbonate of soda
30g cocoa powder
100g dried fruit soaked in 80ml boiling water

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180c. Grease and line a baking tin (I used 23cm x 27cm).
2. Mix together the bicarb, cocoa powder and oats.
3. In a separate bowl mash the bananas, add the vanilla extract, coconut oil and the dried fruit which has been soaked for a few minutes in 80ml boiling water (pour it all in including the water).
4. Then mix together the wet and dry ingredients. Press it into the prepared baking tin.
5. Bake in the oven for 25 mins.
