Banana Bread?

This fruity cake is so easy to make, so don't
worry if you haven't done much baking before.
It doesn't use any added fat at all and it's high
in fruit and fibre, making it a healthier choice.
Serves: 12 adults
Preparation time: 20 mins
Cooking time: 55 mins
Ingredients:
100g low sugar bran flakes
250ml semi-skimmed milk
75g ready-to-eat apricots chopped
50g sultanas
40g light muscovado or soft brown sugar
150g self-raising flour
2 eggs beaten
1 banana mashed
What to do:
1. Put the bran flakes into a mixing bowl and add the milk, apricots and sultanas. Stir well. Cover and leave
to soak in a cool place for 1 hour, stirring from time to time.
2. Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan oven 160°C, gas mark 4. Line a 900g (2lb) loaf tin with greaseproof
paper.
3. Add the sugar, flour, beaten eggs and mashed banana to the soaked mixture and stir thoroughly. Spoon
this mixture into the prepared tin.
4. Transfer to the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then
turn out carefully and cool on a wire rack.
Tip 1: You could ring the changes by using dried cherries or dried blueberries instead of apricots, and
replacing the sultanas with raisins.
Tip 2: Keep the cake in an airtight tin and use within 1 week. If you like, freeze individual slices in small
freezer bags, ready to take for a packed lunch - they will have defrosted by midday.
