Ingredients:
4 tbsp chia seeds (white are best)
4 tbsp plain flour
1/2 small, very ripe, banana
2 tbsp dates, finely chopped
2 tbsp rolled oats
1 large egg
2 tbsp runny honey
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp water
Method:
Combine the chia seeds and flour in a coffee grinder and process until fine. Turn the mixture into a bowl and stir in the rolled oats.
In a separate bowl, mash the bananas then mix in the dates, egg, honey, baking powder and water. Add this liquid mix to the dry ingredients and mix well (you should end up with a cake-type batter).
Grease a baking tray and drop the batter on this by the dessertspoon. Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for about 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
