A delightful treat that combines the rich flavors of ripe bananas with the nutty crunch of walnuts and the sweetness of maple syrup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas (about 400g, mashed)
- 100g walnuts (chopped)
- 120ml maple syrup

- Add the eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil (or melted butter) to the mashed bananas and whisk until well combined.
