INGREDIENTS

·         3 large black bananas

·         75g vegetable oil or sunflower oil (weight), plus extra for greasing

·         Baking powder

·         3 tsp cinnamon or mixed spice

·         50g dried fruit or nuts (optional)

1.   Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mash 3 large black peeled bananas with a fork, then mix well with 75g vegetable or sunflower oil and 100g brown sugar.

2.   Add 225g plain flour, 3 heaped tsp baking powder and 3 tsp cinnamon or mixed spice, and combine well. Add 50g dried fruit or nuts, if using.

3.   Bake in a greased, lined 2lb loaf tin for 20 minutes. Check and cover with foil if the cake is browning.
