Three ripe bananas were the requirement for this very easy recipe, taken from my son’s ‘Complete Children’s Cookbook’ (2022 edition).
I’m sure that most people have cooked a banana loaf or cake in their time, in order to make good use of overripe bananas. There are so many variations out there, with some cooks still trying to find the ‘perfect’ banana loaf.
I have made quite a few myself, but the recipe chosen for July was very simple, obviously aimed at children, and had a good and tasty result.
I had to adapt the recipe, after discovering that I had no pecan nuts in the house and the walnuts that I did have had gone off. I added 100g of dark chocolate chips instead, which I think worked well. In fact, some people may prefer the chocolate chips and, as most schools are nut free these days, they could be a logical alternative to nuts in a children’s recipe.
** NEXT MONTH**
I am hoping that August will be a warm month and to that end I am suggesting following a no-bake recipe. Something that is easy, looks good and requires no need for hot ovens.
Therefore, I will be attempting Passion Fruit & Ginger Nut Tartlets from the August edition of the Waitrose Food magazine. The recipe can also be found online [click here].
As always, please join in with me and send me some photographs of anything that you bake.
