Here's a simple trick for reviving crystallized honey!
Since honey is very sticky, a hand mixer will help make the job easier, otherwise use an electric whisk (or elbow grease with a regular whisk!).
For the dark chocolate, you can opt for fair-trade and organic.

- 1 banana, thawed
- 2.5 ml (½ tsp) vanilla extract
- 75 ml (⅓ cup) honey
- 100 ml camelina seeds
- 500 ml (2 cups) quick-cooking rolled oats
- 50 g (⅓ cup) semi-dark chocolate chips
- 1In a bowl, combine banana, vanilla and honey.
- 2Stir in camelina seeds and rolled oats a little at a time, using a spatula.
- 3Line the bottom of a square baking dish (or cake pan) with parchment paper. This step is optional, but will make it easier to serve, as the mixture is very sticky.
- 4Pour the mixture into the dish and compact with a small rolling pin or glass.
Again, if desired, cover the dough with parchment paper to prevent it from sticking to the rolling pin or glass.
Once the mixture is evenly spread and compacted, remove the parchment paper. - 5Melt chocolate in microwave for 30 seconds, stir and repeat if not fully melted.
- 6Using a spatula, spread the chocolate evenly over the mixture.
Wait about 10 minutes for the chocolate layer to harden, then cut into small squares.
Depending on the size of the dish, you can divide this into 5, making approximately 25 squares of 4 cm x 4 cm.
