1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2. Place the banana, coconut oil, maple syrup, peanut butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt in a saucepan. Stir well over a low heat until it becomes liquid.

3. Remove saucepan from the heat and add the oats. Mix together well.

5. Bake in the middle shelf of the oven for around 15-20 mins until nice and brown.
