The chickens usually love to eat any overripe bananas. But as they ate all my runner bean seedlings I wasn’t in the mood to give them a nice treat and used the bananas for this nice Mary Berry recipe instead!
225g Self raising Flour
1/4 tsp nutmeg
100g Margarine
225g ripe bananas mashed
100g caster sugar
grated rind of 1 lemon
2 large eggs
6 tablespoons of honey
Preheat oven to 180c 350f Gas 4, line a 2lb loaf tin
Rub margarine into flour and nutmeg.
Beat in bananas, sugar lemon rind, honey and eggs.
Put in tin and bake for 1 1/4 hours
Cool and turn out.
For a special finish brush with 2 spoons of warmed honey and sprinkle a little sugar on top.
