    can anyone recommend a good recipe using bananas. I have two to use up that are a bit too ripe for me too eat as I like them just past green.

    If you're still looking . . . I'm not a big Nigella fan but I do love her muffins :D
    I've never used the honey in it as I never seem to have any in when I'm doing them, still come out gorgeous though!

    Microwave Banana pudding:

    Melt 100g butter in the micro for 30 secs or so, add 1 and a half mashed bananas (over ripe give the best flavour), mix in 100g brown sugar, 100g self raising flour, tsp cinnamon, 2 beaten eggs and 2 tbsp milk.

    Slice the other half banana over the top then microwave on full power for 8-10 min until cooked through. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm with ice cream.

    Yummy, cheap, easy and quick!! :D

    That sounds great sunbat, will def give it a go, got a couple of bananas in the freezer.

    I have ready to go in the oven - bramble and apple crumble and a marmalade cake.

    Weetabix Brownies using shredded wheat instead. Also threw in a handful of mini marshmellows that were lurking around...they are wonderfully gooey and chocolately :)

    Today I made some mini apple turnovers with the remaining puff pastry and a frozen apple. I just peeled, cored and chopped the apple and put in a pan with some sugar, cinnamon and a little water & cooked until soft. When it was cool I put it into pastry circles and folded in half, sprinkled with sugar and popped them in the oven.

    I've also got a sponge cake on the go, but this time I put some raspberry compote in the middle. Not sure what it will turn out like, but I'm ever hopeful :D.

    The banana cake from yesterday is nearly all gone, no wonder I'm not losing any weight :rotfl:

    Also trying Lemongrass ice cream from here got the lemongrass soaking in cream and the ice cream maker in the freezer ready to make tomorrow.

    Bought loads of lemongrass a couple of weeks ago at a Chinese supermarket so have been looking for other uses for it :D

    Today I made Nigella's flourless chocolate brownies and some chocolate chip cookies all done whilst the oven was on roasting a chicken.

    I love Nigella, not least because she has bigger hips than me which is no mean feat :rotfl:

    Can anyone recommend a fairly simple yet yummy recipe for cake or biscuits that once baked will keep fresh for about a week (or more)? I know they will freeze well but I haven't got any room in the freezer!

    Oh, and not fruit cakes or the like please, as both I and the person I was thinking of baking for don't really like them.
