STEP BY STEP

Grind the rolled oats to turn them into flour. Mix with the wholemeal flour, brown sugar, powdered cinnamon, bicarbonate of soda and salt.

Mash the bananas with a fork and add to the mixture. Dilute the cornflour in 4 spoonfuls of cold water and add it and the vegetable drink to the mixture. Stir well. Finally, add the crushed walnuts and mix together.

Line a cake mould with baking paper, fill with the cake mixture and bake for about 30 minutes at 170 ºC.

Use a skewer or sharp knife to check whether it is ready: if it comes out dry, the cake is done! NUTRITIONAL TIPS- Eating rolled oats on a daily basis can help reduce cholesterol, aid digestion and provide your body with plenty of fibre.
- This recipe is an ideal way to use up those ripe bananas in the fridge.
- If you prefer, you can use different kinds of nuts instead of walnuts, such as almonds, hazelnuts, etc.
