ingredients | serves 16 | Prepare 10 mins | Cook time 25 mins

150g cashew nuts • 3 bananas (about 300g) • 60g Rude Health puffed oats • 1 tbsp raw cacao powder • 1⁄2 tsp bicarbonate of soda • 1⁄2 tsp vanilla extract • 1 tbsp cacao nibs

step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Line a 20cm non-stick tin with a strip of baking parchment. Set aside 1 tbsp of the cashew nuts, put the rest in a food processor and whizz until finely chopped.

step 2

Break in the bananas and add the oats, cacao powder, bicarbonate of soda and vanilla extract. Whizz for 2-3 minutes, until fairly smooth, then pulse in 1⁄2 of the cacao nibs. Transfer the mixture to the prepared tin and level the surface with the back of a spoon.

step 3

Finely chop the reserved cashew nuts and sprinkle over the top with the remaining cacao nibs. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until set and golden. Leave to cool completely, then cut into bars. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
