Ingredients
5 tbs low fat cocoa powder
1 tbs fine grain (castor) sugar
5 tbs skimmed milk
3 large mashed bananas
1 cup soft brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
5 egg whites, lightly beaten
3/4 cup cake (self raising) flour
3/4 cup oat bran

Equipment
Square 8ins (20cm) baking pan
Non stick baking paper
Mixing bowl

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 350 deg F (180 deg C). Line the baking pan with non stick baking paper.

2. Put the cocoa powder and sugar into a bowl and then blend together with the skimmed milk.

3. Add the mashed bananas, brown sugar and vanilla essence and mix them in.

4. Now add the lightly beaten egg whites and beat, then add the flour and oat bran, a little at a time, folding them in as you go.

5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan.

6. Bake for around 40 minutes or until firm to the touch. Leave in the baking pan to cool for around 10 minutes, then turn on to a wire rack. When completely cold, cut into 9 squares. You can dust them with confectioners (icing) sugar, if you want.
