This is a plant based banana, almond and oatmeal bake, a cross between my banana and walnut bread and my Oat flapjack.
Named this after the bread in Lord of the rings.
Legolas: “Ah, Lembas Bread, one bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man”
The Fellowship of the Ring
Merry: “How many did you eat?”
Pippin: “four – hic”

Put the sugars, pinch of salt and the vegan butter into a bowl and use a whisk to cream them together.
Mix in the banana and mash it all together with a fork.

Toast the almonds and stir them into the mix.
