Ingredients:

• 225g plain flour
• 3 heaped tsp baking powder
• 100g brown sugar
• 3 tsp cinnamon or mixed spice
• 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
• 75g Vegetable or Sunflower oil (by weight, not volume)
• 50g Dried fruit or nuts (optional)

Method:

• Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees Celcius.
• Mash the peeled bananas with a fork. Mix well with oil and sugar.
• Add the flour, baking powder and cinnamon, and combine well.
• Add any additional ingredients.
• Baked in a greased and lined 2lb loaf tin for 20 minutes, before checking. Cover with foil, if the loaf cake is browning. Bake for another 40 minutes (approximately).
• Allow to cool a little before slicing. It’s delicious freshly baked but even yummier when it goes gooey the next day!
