Meanwhile she also advised using one egg if you’re not vegan, or half a can of chickpea water if you are,

In the clip Laura started by mashing the banana in a bowl until it had become a paste texture.

She then added the flour, honey, egg and stirred the mixture together before spooning it into a small oven-proof dish with baking parchment paper.
