Since this is my last video before Christmas, I thought I’d do a recipe for something a bit Christmassy – my Ginger and Molasses Banana Bread! Stay tuned until the very end for a hilarious insight into what a whinging weakling I am!

Below are the ingredients and method, but watch the video for the full explanation and some hints and tips!

What You’ll Need:

• 3 cups/250g oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 ripe bananas
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1 inch square of ginger, grated finely

How It’s Done:

• Preheat oven to 180° celsius
• Add the oats and baking powder to a large bowl and mix well
• In a separate bowl, mash the 3 bananas and add the olive oil, molasses and ginger. Mix well. (You could use a food processor to do this!)
• Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of oats and mix well
• Spoon mixture into a loaf tin lined with baking paper
• Place in the oven for 35-40 minutes, depending on your own oven. It should be ready once the outside goes brown
• Remove from the loaf tin and allow to cool for an hour on a baking tray before cutting
