Got a few ripe bananas to use up? Try this simple – 5 ingredient protein packed gluten free slice. Naturally sweet using just bananas and vegan too! I used gluten free oats but you could swap this for quinoa flakes, rice flakes or amaranth flakes. Vanilla pea protein tastes great in this recipe – there are many good brands out there including Nuzest, NutriStrength, Purition, Sunwarrior just to name a few. I like using dairy free chocolate chips by Plamil in this recipe but you could simply chop up your favourite dairy free chocolate bar and tip into the mixture. Check out our video showing how easy it is to make.

Bananas are a great way to sweeten homemade bars and biscuits without added sugars. They are also ideal for replacing eggs for vegan recipes. Bananas are a useful prebiotic food meaning they help support healthy gut flora and overall digestive health.
Bananas are a good dietary source of potassium and magnesium, two nutrients that are essential for heart health. Bananas also contain plenty of resistant starch and pectin, which can help reduce appetite and keep you feeling full.
