to not scoff the entire banana bread I made earlier?

[tuckingfablet]

It's sitting there in the kitchen calling to me.

It's too hot to cook.

it's practically a health food right?

[McFlickle]

This is why I don't bake. End up scoffing the lot!

[AwkwardSquad]

I'd say it's one of your five a day, per slice.

[VitoCorleone]

I also struggle not to eat everything once ive baked it, cant help myself

[tuckingfablet]

5 slices makes up all I need then I've already had an apple today. I'll be full of energy

[Smilesandpiles]

It has to be spread with Nutella for a properly balanced meal.

Anything baked which contains fruit is still a portion.

I have a Sophie Grigson recipe for a pear tart using a batter recipe which is just brilliant. It works perfectly with almost any fruit (but especially apples, pears, peaches and nectarines) which are at the past being nice enough to eat but not nasty enough to bin stage.

[LuckySaint]

I'd say it was one of your 5 a day.
Recipe please.

[tuckingfablet]

175g sr flour
175g sugar
175g butter
3 eggs
2 ripe bananas

chuck it all in a bowl and mix until it looks like cake mix. whack in a cake tin and bake at 160 for 30mins to 1 hour. mine took 40 mins.

dead easy

On a slightly more serious note DP says if you chop up the fruit that's past the being nice to eat stage but not at the nasty enough to bin stage, stir it into yoghurt and add a spoonful of muscovado sugar it doesn't count as a portion.

He is wrong surely?

[LuckySaint]

Lovely, thanks.
I'll try that tomorrow.

[tuckingfablet]

he is an idiot phaed

[tuckingfablet]

I had another slice. mmm bananay goodness.

[PhaedraIsMyName]

Thanks tucking I thought so.

[ThursdayLast]

Why no choc chips????

[FreeLikeABird]

Ooooh my fav, going to bake one with ds tomorrow, we love Banana loaf in this house.

[tuckingfablet]

Because I didn't have any chocolate chips Thursday

[ThursdayLast]

Ah ok. I forgive you then
I hate hate hate bananas, but choc chip banana bread really floats my boat

[tuckingfablet]

It doesn't taste too bananay I don't think. The banana just makes it nice and moist. I'm not a huge banana fan either but I love banana loaf.

[ThursdayLast]

How much is left?

[tuckingfablet]

3/4ish I've come up stairs to avoid temptation

[ThursdayLast]

[tuckingfablet]

It's calling to me again. damn cakey goodness.

[LuckySaint]

So... I made some last night...
And it was vile!

Dh ate a bit, then I put it all in the bin.
I used to like bananas but I think that's put me off for life.

[LuckySaint]

And I used loads of chocolate chips.

[ThursdayLast]

Oh noooooo Lucky that's pants!

The last one I made all the banana and chic chips sunk to the bottom which wasn't great bleurgh.

I'd like to recommend this recipe but swap the poncey hazelnuts for shop bought ground almonds. But that's if you can ever get over the disappointment
