    I made this last week (for the first time) and it was delicious...

    Banana Bread

    3 x medium over-ripe bananas
    175g rolled oats
    75g sugar
    1 medium-large egg
    2 tbsp oil (I'd guess this could be left out altogether)
    1 tspn baking powder

    mash bananas, add other ingredients & mix well. bake for 20 mins, 200C

    BBC Food website has a good fat free sponge. It uses single cream or elmlea (which is dairy free, I think).

    Elmlea is not dairy free! :)

    Olive oil and coconut oil (solid at room temp) are both good fats, and can be used in baking.
    Personally I would rather have a whole pack of butter than a spoonful of that awful hydrogenated vegetable fat in things like stork and other spreads. Vile stuff, nothing wrong with butter...

    Low fat baking really annoys me, you cut out all that fat that is actually nutritious and still have LOADS of sugar which is a lot worse for you than the fat...

    Yes... nutritious and artery clogging...
