Whip up this tasty banana bread in four easy steps for a healthy tea-time treat.
225g/8oz self-raising flour
100g/4oz butter
150g/5oz caster sugar
450g/1lb Fairtrade bananas (the softer the better), peeled and mashed
½ tsp salt
2 eggs
175g/6oz mixed dried fruit
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Mix all the of the ingredients except the dried fruit together. You can do this in a food processor or by hand in a mixing bowl.
When the ingredients are all thoroughly combined, fold in the dried fruit.
Spoon the batter mixture into a 1kg/2lb non-stick loaf tin, spread it out evenly and bake it for one and a half hours.
When the banana bread has risen, golden-brown on top and cooked through, remove it from the oven and set aside to cool on a wire rack. Slice before serving.
