Ingredients:
- x2 medium bananas (the riper the better)
- 270g soft light brown sugar
- 120g Alpro, plain soya yoghurt (could sub for coconut)
- 280g plain flour
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1.5 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1.5 tsp ground ginger
- 140g Pure free-from sunflower spread
Method:
1. Place the soft light brown sugar and yoghurt into a free standing electric mixer and beat until combined (an electric mixer isn't essential but does save a lotta time :) ).
2. Mash the bananas and add these to the yoghurt/sugar mix.
3. With the mixer on a slow setting, gradually add in the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, bicarb + spices).
4. Finally, melt the sunflower spread. This can either be done in the microwave or on the stove over a low heat. Pour this into the mix and beat until all ingredients are fully combined.
5. Grease and lightly dust a loaf tin with flour and pour the mix in.
6. Place in the pre-heated oven for 45 - 60 minutes.
7. Cool for 15 minutes before running a knife around the sides of the tin and turning the cake out.
8. ENJOY !!
