The kids are going to LOVE these super easy cookies - and with just five ingredients, they take minutes to prepare!

Ingredients

150g unsalted butter, chopped

½ cup golden syrup

4 cups Kellogg’s Just Right breakfast cereal (260g)

1½ cups self-raising flour

1 cup mashed, over-ripe banana (See tip)

Method

  1. Grease and line two large oven trays with baking paper.

  2. Combine butter and syrup in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Stir until butter is melted. Bring to boil. Remove. Cool for 5 minutes.

  3. Combine cereal and flour in a large bowl. Make well in the centre. Add banana and butter mixture. Stir until well combined. 

  4. Shape ¼ cups of mixture into balls. Place about 4cm apart on prepared trays. Flatten slightly to about 7cm rounds. 

  5. Cook in a moderate oven (180C) for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove. Cool completely on trays before serving. 

     

    TIP! You will need about 3 medium bananas for this recipe. Cookies can be made up to five days ahead. Store in an airtight container. Replace golden syrup with honey, if preferred.
