- At this stage, turn off the heat, add the chocolate to the butter and sugar and give it a good stir until it has melted too
- Mash the bananas with a fork
- In a separate bowl, add the mashed bananas and flax seed egg replacer and mix well
- In a large mixing bowl, sieve the the flour, salt and bicarbonate of soda to avoid lumps
