Banana Bread

This is a yummy recipe from the baby-led weaning forum. DD hasn't tried it yet as she's too small but in a few weeks she might!

Banana Bread
Ingredients
8oz Banana (approx two bananas)
3oz Raisins
4oz Plain flour (I used wholemeal)
3 tsp Baking powder
2oz Butter
1 egg
1/2 tsp mixed spice

Recipe
1. Preheat oven to gas mark 4 (180 deg C/ 350 deg F) and grease a 2 lb loaf tin.
2. Mix together the flour, baking powder, spice and raisins.
3. Melt the butter.
4. Whisk egg and mash in the banana.
5. Fold into the dry mixture and add the melted butter.
6. Put in the prepared tin and bake for 45 mins to an hour until a skewer comes out clean.

Sugar free living continues!

OK, so I wasn't very good at posting on here during August but we tried out lots of nice food and didn't miss the sugar much at all! I think it has really cured me and my OH of our craving for sugar and, although we will eat sugar occasionally, I think we realise that it's a treat and not a necessity.

So the sugar-free living will largely continue, albeit with a treat now and then :-).
