Super-easy baby friendly banana loaf cake

This is a sugar free, dairy free, easy, yummy, healthy recipe which I use a lot as a baby friendly cake and it is a great way to use up some spare bananas.

1lb bananas
5 oz wholemeal flour
4 oz raisins
3 oz porridge oats
2 oz chopped nuts (optional)
4fl oz sunflower oil
half teaspoon vanilla extract or almond essence

Mash the bananas, mix together with all the other ingredients. Spoon into a greased 1lb loaf tin and bake at 190c for 50-60 mins until golden.
This makes quite a firm loaf but it is lovely and healthy too!

Banana yogurt, berry yogurt

Another embarrassingly simple recipe (well not even a recipe really) but may provide inspiration for anyone struggling with healthy desserts.

JJ loves 1/2 a mashed banana (really ripe ones work best) mixed with a couple of tablespoons of greek yogurt. It is yummy and no sugar like most of the kiddies yogurts on sale.

We also nuke some berries (he likes blueberries best) for 1 min in the microwave and add these to some yogurt. If they are a bit sour I add a little dash of maple syrup to just sweeten them slightly.
