    banana's are not our friends :( 2 bananas tips you over your sugar intake for one day - as much as I love them - I'm steering clear.

    Bananas are awesome. And natural sugars are awesome. Love your bananas!

    http://www.canadianliving.com/food/banana_chocolate_chip_loaf.php (this site is one of my faves anyway)

    This is my fav....I use mini loaf pans so each one is 2 slices because it makes 8 mini loaves.

    This also has all the values with it as well...appx 105 calories per slice...

    My current favourite is

    The recipe for the loaf cake as is:

    175g ground almonds
    2 eggs
    Big dollop of honey
    125g butter
    4 mashed bananas
    3 tablespoons of cocoa (I use green and blacks)
    1 teaspoon each bicarb and baking powder
    85% chocolate chopped into chunks.

    Melt the butter and add the honey, eggs and bananas. Stir, then add everything else and give a good old mix until combined. Pour into a loaf tin and bake at 180 for around 40 minutes. That's it!


    You can find more recipes on my blog http://fridaysatamys.blogspot.co.uk/

    Has anyone posted the recipe that is pretty much just banana and oat flour? I'll find it if you'd like! :smile:

    Here it is anyway if anyone is curious!

    2 large eggs
    1/3 cup honey (can be a lot less than this! especially if you can only find sweetened apple sauce like me)
    3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 1/2 cup oat flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3/4 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (more or less as you prefer)
    1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas
