Banana Bread
Ingredients
225 g (8 oz) self-raising flour
100 g (4 oz) butter
150 g (5 oz) caster sugar
450 g (1 lb) Fairtrade bananas (the gooier the better)
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
175 g (6 oz) mixed dried fruit
Method
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Peel and mash the
bananas, and then mix all the ingredients except the dried fruit
together. You can do this in a food processor, or by hand in a
basin. When they’re all thoroughly mixed, add the dried fruit.
Spoon the mixture into a 1 kg (2 lb) non-stick loaf tin, spread it
out evenly and bake it for 1½ hours. The loaf is done when a
skewer pushed into its middle comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack
before slicing.
Banana & Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ingredients
100g plain flour
40g cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
90g unrefined (golden) Fairtrade sugar
40g melted butter
1 egg, beaten
2 ripe Fairtrade bananas, well mashed
80ml buttermilk
50g Fairtrade milk chocolate, chopped into small chunks
Method
Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6. Sieve flour, cornmeal, baking
powder and bicarbonate of soda together into a large bowl. Stir in sugar. In
a separate bowl, mix together the butter, egg, bananas and buttermilk. Add
wet ingredients to dry and mix gently (do not over-mix). Fold in the
chocolate chips. Fill a muffin tin (ideally lined with muffin cases) to just
under the rim. Bake for about 30 minutes until golden-brown and firm to the
touch. Allow to cool in the tin.
