It probably wasn't the best day for baking being 37 degrees out.
But when I weighed up the positives and negatives I decided to go ahead with it. After all I had quite a few good excuses, my 5 neices and nephews were coming to stay tomorrow night and I needed something for them to snack on, I had 4 overripe bananas begging not to go into the worm farm and I felt like baking something. I decided biscuits would be a good idea as they don't take very long to bake and therefore the oven wouldn't be on for so long.
I perused the net for some inspiration and found these biscuits on kidspot. They were close to what I wanted so I did the usual tweaks and ended up with this slightly healthier version.
4 x large ripe bananas
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 & half cups wholemeal flour (or spelt)
1 & half cups oats
1 x egg (I used egg replacement)
1/4 tsp fresh ground cinnamon
1/2 cup slivered almonds (extra for the top)
100g butter
1/2 tsp baking soda
Method in the Madness
Using beater, mix up banana, sugar, butter and egg replacement until fluffy. Add sifted flour, oats, almonds, cinnamon and baking soda and beat further.
Drop tablespoons of mixture onto trays lined with baking paper. Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool and enjoy. These are very sweet soft biscuits that kids will (hopefully) love.
