banana cake - healthy version

ingredients:

400g ripe bananas
50g chopped nuts
110ml sunflower oil
100g currants (or raisins)
75g rolled oat flakes (porridge oats)
125g flour (I used white but can use wholewheat)
half a teaspoon almond essence
pinch of salt

Pre-heat oven to Gas mark 5/190c/375f

Mash your banana's (I used a potato masher - but anyway you can is fine).

Add in all the other ingredients until the mixture is soft and moist.

Line and greese a 1lb loaf tin, and spoon in the mixture, smoothing the top.

Bake for 45-60 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before placing on a cooling rack.

And your done... enjoy!

Optional: make this your own by adding in extra ingredients. I added a tub of blueberries and it was very good indeed.
