I make this when I need a snack that stays on for a couple of days. The bananas makes it flavorful and the nuts add a crunch in between. Without much fat and naturally sweetened in part by raisins and bananas, this is the perfect candidate for someone in search of a healthy snack.
Ingredients:
wheat flour - 1 1/2 cups
ripe bananas - 2 large
walnut (broken) - 1/2 cup
raisins - 1/2 cup
honey - 1/2 cup
canola oil - 3/4 cup
vanilla essence - 1 tsp
baking powder - 1 tsp
baking soda - 1/2 tsp
Method:
Sift flour with baking powder and baking soda. (I repeat it a couple of times). Preheat oven to 350 degrees (Fahrenheit). Add remaining ingredients and mix well with a hand blender. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes (until skewer comes out clean).
