Ingredients:
1. 10 large ripe bananas mashed
2. 50g frozen or fresh blueberries (optional, you can leave them out if you run out of supplies. It won't affect the taste.)
3. 100g rolled-oats
4. 150g white wholewheat flour (or plain flour if you don't like wholewheat flour)
5. 2 TBS olive oil (optional)
6. 2 tsp baking powder
7. 2 eggs
2. In a mixing bowl, add the bananas and mash them with a fork.
4. On a baking tray lay with baking paper, form into desired shapes, e.g. fish with a spoon if you are baking buns or in a bread loaf pan laid with baking paper.
5. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes for buns or double the time (30-45 mins) if you are baking a loaf of bread.
Tips:
1. As you eat them, you can tell the story of Jesus feeding five thousands with five loaves and two fish (from John 6:1-14 and Matthew 14:13-21) or Noah's Ark, depending on what animals you shaped.

This is very healthy - no sugar, no butter, but they still taste super sweet because the bananas is a natural sweetener and they are full of goodness from the oats, carrot, nuts and brewer's yeast.
