popular banana flapjacks

here's to my Manushi girls...

150g margarine (or butter if you're not vegan)
300g porridge oats
150g sugar
2 bananas
3 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
2 handfuls pecans, walnuts, other nuts (optional)

Melt sugar and margarine over lowest heat possible until the surface is covered in bubbles. While it is heating up, mash the bananas with a fork or blend in a blender.
Stir maple syrup and bananas into the warm mix, then add oats and nuts, taking off the heat. Mix well.
Pour into square or rectangular tin and bake at 190 degrees for 15 to 20 mins until surface looks dry and edges are beginning to turn brownish.
Mark into whatever shapes you want to cut into, cool in the tin, then cut.
