Ingredients

  • 200g dark chocolate

  • 250g butter

  • 300g brown sugar

  • 4 eggs

  • 300g ripe banana, chopped

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 100g porridge oats

  • 200g plain flour

  • 2 tbsp Dutch-quality cocoa powder

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 2 tbsp peanut butter

  • 2 tbsp almonds, roughly chopped

  • 3 tbsp mixed pumpkin seeds or nibble mix

Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heat proof bowl set over a pot half-filled with gently simmering water, stirring until melted. Cool for 10 minutes.

    2. Beat the sugar and eggs in a food processor until smooth. Add the banana and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Add the chocolate mixture and oats and beat until smooth. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt, and fold through with a spatula until just combined.

    3. Pour half the mixture into a well-buttered and lined 30cm x 20cm baking pan. Dot half teaspoons of peanut butter on top, then pour the remaining mixture over the top. Scatter with the almonds and seeds and bake for 25 minutes, leaving it squidgy-moist inside. Cool, then cut into squares to serve.
