Performance Benefits

This recipe packs a serious energy punch as oats make up the bulk of carbohydrate. Whilst, the banana, cinnamon and vanilla essence provide the sweet taste to compliment the roasted nuts. The addition of nuts and seeds provides a good source of healthy fats.
Health Benefits

The banana bread can be used as part of a pre-exercise snack or as a lunchbox snack on a carb-loading day. Alternatively, toast one slice and serve with regular butter or nut butter as a wholesome and tasty snack.
