Low fat banana cake
150g plain flour
70g self raising flour
130g caster sugar (or normal )
4teaspoons of Splenda or similar sweetener
1 1/2 tea spoons of baking powder
2 medium eggs
140g Olive speed (light) melted or similar margarine suitable for cooking.
2bananas chopped/mashed
Pre heat your oven to gas mark2-3 or 160-170 degrees
Sieve the flour, sugar, sweetener &baking powder in to a large mixing bowl. Add chopped bananas and mix well
Then melt the olive spread in a separate container- I usually do this on the defrost setting on the microwave then allow to slightly cool
Create a well hole in the middle of the cake mixture in the mixing bowl and pour in your 2 eggs and melted olive spread & continue to mix well until has a good consistency.
Grease a loaf Tin or cake tin (I always use a loose bottom one) with light olive spread.
Pour in the cake mixture and sprinkle on a little sugar on top.
Then place on the middle shelf of the oven and cook for approx 1hour dependant on tin used and efficiency of the oven.
Use a knife to do the skewer test to ensure the cake is cooked though.
Remove from oven and allow to g
Cool t
For 10-15mins before removing from tin.
Place on serving plate and sprinkle a pinch of sugar hon top.
Optional things to add before baking 1teaspoon of mixed spice.
40g of chopped almonds or walnuts.
40g raisins
Mixture can also be poured in to muffin cases to make yummy muffins ideal to have on a plate or in a basket if you have guests.0 -
1) banana bread
2) banana -oat muffins
3) peel 'em, place in Ziploc bag and freeze them for smoothies
Since I have not been baking much, I have been doing #3 every time my bananas start to get a little too ripe.0 -
Whole wheat chocolate chip banana bread. :-)
I use the Better Homes and Gardens recipe, but use all whole wheat flour, brown sugar, canola oil and add a cup of dark chocolate chips. It's always a huge hit. You can also add in some peanut butter or nuts if you like. I use two bananas per loaf.
I do this, but use 4 bananas and leave out the sugar entirely!0 -
I would mix them with an atkins.....although that seems to fly in the face of no carbs....tee hee.0

I would always make Banana Bread and eat it myself... now living this new lifestyle... I make it for other folks... they can still enjoy it and I have the satisfaction of making it.0

I LOVE brown spotty bananas, they're the best! I just mash mine up and mix it with a tablespoon or two of natural peanut butter for a snack. YUM!0

SMOOTHIE!!! I always make a smoothie with excess / over ripe fruit :0)0

Smoothie! Or, stick them in the freezer and make banana bread out of them0

Any time my bananas get soft and brown, I break them in half and throw them in a ziplock baggie and freeze them. They are perfect to add into a protein smoothie.
Also brown bananas have a chemical in them that fights off cancer...so never throw them out!0 -
Banana waffles! Mash a banana and mix it with an egg and a large tablespoon buckwheat flour. They're great for breakfast with a topping of plain greek yoghurt and a bit of fresh fruit.0

I saw a post on Facebook where they sliced bananas, added a little smear of peanut butter or nutella, layered another slice on top so they make little sandwiches, and freeze for a delicious frozen treat.
I tried it myself and it's really yummy, although right out of the freezer was a little too cold and I got brain freeze on the first bite. Once I let them thaw a bit, they were perfect.
^^^ sounds too good !!!0 -
I usually freeze them and eat them as 'ice cream' using a food processor. But here it's full of yummy recipies! Thanks for sharing!0
-
I have lots of frozen bananas to use up.Thanks for all the great ideas!0
-
if you can't find something you really want right now, peel them and freeze them! They make good breads and stuff later0

I just made banana bread with seriously over ripe bananas, leaving out almost all of the the sugar and substituting a mix of oatmeal and almonds turned into meal in the food processor for white flour. It was moist and amazing and filling.0
