Kitten, please share the recipe. At the moment, it takes about a day for bananas to go from green to black in my kitchen (no insulation), so I've now got a large stash of bananas in the freezer waiting to be cooked. I'm getting a bit bored of my two banana bread recipes.

So far today, my baking consists of bread in the breadmaker but, tonight, I'll be making another batch of jam crumblies, since my DH devoured the first batch I'd ever made (made on Sunday - gone on Monday). I do them at 180C for 20-25 minutes.

Sorry I only just saw this! The recipe is also on my blog http://www.anneskitchen1.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/fruity-banana-breakfast-bars-aka.html with pictures
- feel free to play around with fruit combination! I had the same problem with my bananas :rotfl:


Cuts into twelve bars of loveliness ( easily doubled) and freeze well

Pre-heat oven to 160o

Either line and grease a square cake pan (mine was a 20cm one) or even easier dust off your abandoned silicon one. It really works a treat here.

Ingredients:

50g unsalted butter
1 ripe medium banana, mashed
70g dark brown sugar
3 tbsp golden syrup
140g rolled oats (mine have added wheatgerm and stuff!)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
50g coconut powder (or descicated)
3 tbsp mixed seeds (I buy 'omega mix' which has linseeds, sesame, pumpkin and sunflower and possibly more in)
100g of dried mixed fruits (or nuts) - mine consisted of the following:
-30g craisins
-20g sultanas
-40g chopped stoned dates
-5 glace cherries

Gently melt together the butter, sugar and golden syrup until all nice and liquid and the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the banana.

Combine the remaining ingredients and fold into the syrupy mixture - a silicon spatula is most helpful here until all nicely mixed. Press into your pan of choice and bake for a little over 30 minutes or until lightly golden - there should still be a little give when pressed.

Leave to stand for five minutes and then using a sharp knife gently cut into desired shapes and allow to cool for a further 15 minutes or so before removing to a cooling rack.

Thanks Kitten! Hopefully, I'll find the time to make a batch this weekend to try them out.

I'm making another Christmas cake today.This is for a friend.:)

I made another Victoria sandwich cake today but this time I followed exactly the recipe of Mary Berry.

Wow it turned out amazing the rise of the sponge was so awesome I actually took photographs of it and it tastes fantastic as well as I put some vanilla extract in. I may drop some hints about asking DH for Mary Berry's Baking Bible Book for Christmas.

As my parents were visiting today I had a cooking morning - and made strawberry pavlova (yummy!) and a huge chocolate cake. The cake is one of Lorraine Pascales recipes and I had seen her make it on her tv show.

Her Baking Bible is excellent.I use it a lot.My favourite is her Austrian Curd Cheesecake-it's delicious with such delicate flavours.
