Line a bread tin with baking paper. Pour the mixture in.
You can either sprinkle the top with some rolled oats, or slice a banana in half lengthways and lay it on top, for a fancy look.
Bake in the oven at 160°C for 60 MIN.
NOTES
Allow to cool in the tin, before removing. Cover and store in the pantry.
This freezes beautifully, so slice it up once cooled and freeze pieces ready for lunchboxes. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 4 weeks.
