this recipe is inspired by one a saw the Helmsley and hemsley sisters make on TV, I changed it a little and added apple, flaked almonds, sunflower seeds, cacao nibs and banana chips and ground banana chip flour. I have quite a sweet tooth so I used about 5 heaped spoons of honey rather than the two tbsp of maple syrup that the recipe called for. I let the bananas get really ripe as they get a lot sweeter when you let them go black.
We went to a local orchard to walk the dog and got some apples
