Muffins/fairy cakes can put loads of variety in these, cherries, choc chips, sultanas etc
Bread Pudding - I save all the crusts from sliced loafs in the freezer and when I have a bag full I mash them up with some water and milk and sultansas, then add some sugar and cinnamon. Put in a loaf tin and cook for about 20-30 mins til its 'dried out'. I slice it wrap each slice in cling film and freeze. Great treat and cheap too! I made one this afternoon!
Although I don't freeze it flapjack seems to last ages in a tin

thankyou .

I wanted to ask also do cookies freeze well?

I don't know if Morrisons still have the offer, but last week they had 12 hole muffin trays down from £6 to £4. I can't remember the make, something begining with P? Prestige or something I think?

I mentioned this on the other baking thread, but I made Sophie Dahls Banana Bread, and it was lovely!! I did slightly modify the orginal recipe (as I had not vanilla extract, and totally forgot about the cinnamon) so have posted what I did

3 or 4 very ripe bananas (around 360g of peeled bananas)
150g brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
75g butter ( except I used Stork)
170g all purpose flour
a pinch of salt
1 teaspoon baking soda


Preheat the oven to 180°C. Mash the bananas with a fork or a hand blender/mixer. Add sugar, egg, butter and vanilla. In a seperate bowl mix the flour with baking soda. Add the flour, mix only until everything is combined, the batter doesn't need to be perfectly smooth - don't overmix it though! Pour the batter into the baking tin and bake for 50 - 60minutes.

I used a loaf tin that was 10 inches x 5 inches x 3 inches, and lined it with baking paper, just to be on the safe side!

It came out really moist, and not at all as heavy as other banana breads I have made. I will be sticking to this recipe from now on. It was ace cold, but I think would be nice hot with cream or custard, or even with some caramel sauce, or spead with Nutella! Yum!:T
