Chocolicious Banana & Butterscotch Breakfast Bars

Chocolicious Banana & Butterscotch Breakfast Bars are healthy, though they have a chocolate quotient, like all my cakes do, but these are vegan (no eggs-milk-butter) and made with whole wheat flour. Sounds healthy?!

Besides, this recipe is a really great way to use up all the browning bananas that are sitting on the kitchen table!!

Chocolicious Banana & Butterscotch Breakfast Bars

Let’s start.
Preheat the oven @ 180’C for about 10-12 minutes.
Prepare the cake tin by greasing it with some oil and sprinkle some flour as well or line with parchment paper.
While that’s happening, take the banana purée in a large mixing bowl, add nutmeg & cinnamon powders.
Mix them well using a spatula.
Stir in the sugar until well incorporated. Now sieve in the flours, baking powder, baking soda & the cocoa powder.
Mix everything well. Now pour in the oil and the extracts.
Give everything a good mix to make smooth & lump free batter. But don’t over mix it, else it’ll give you a very heavy cake/ bar (the batter will be quite thick).
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for about 10 minutes.
Remove the tin out of the oven using a mitten (be careful for the oven will be too hot) & sprinkle the butterscotch chips/ balls on top and put the tin back in the oven ( we do this to avoid the chips from sinking and settling at the bottom).
Bake for another 20 minutes approximately or until a skewer pierced in the center of the cake/ bar comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes, then invert on a cooling rack to demould the cake / bread and cool for another 15-20 minutes. Slice and serve!

The batter will be thick, if you need to adjust the consistency, you can add some milk but then the breakfast bars won't be vegan. Omit butterscotch chips or replace it with whatever you like.
