2 tsp ground Flaxseeds

1 Tbls Maple Syrup**

Optional Topping

2-3 melted Dark Chocolate Squares (I use 85% Lindt)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F)

6. Allow to cool completely before slicing into bars

Notes

*The recipe still works even if your banana isn't too ripe. Having an overripe banana just makes it easier to combine and makes it slightly sweeter

**You can add 2-3 Tbls of Maple Syrup if you prefer things a little sweeter.
