Make your date paste. Simply take your dates and add ¾ tablespoon boiling water. Stir your paste until it’s smooth. Add a little more boiling water if needed, you want the paste to be really thick.
Once your paste is blended, add your bananas and blend the mixture together. Put to one side.
Dice up 3 or 4 dates. Set aside.
Melt your butter and maple syrup over a low heat. Add the warm butter and maple syrup to the oats and mix.
Pour your banana and date mixture into the buttery oats and mix well. Add the diced dates. Your mixture should bind well, and be sticky.
Line your baking pan with paper. Rub a little butter on the paper to stop the flapjack sticking. Push your mixture well into the pan, so it’s compact and even on top.
Bake for around 190C / 375F (depending on your oven) for 18 minutes. The Flapjacks will be soft when you take them out of the oven, they’ll harden up as they cool.

Makes 12 bars. Nutrition based on 2 bars per serving.

Put 3 or 4 dates aside out of the ⅓ cup for dicing. The rest can be used for the date paste.
