A new take on an old Lunchbox Doctor recipe. For those that love the banana bread but want a slightly different (more exotic!) flavour here's a ginger flavoured version.

 1 egg
 4 bananas, mashed
 75 g soft butter
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 170 g wholegrain spelt or gluten-free flour
 75 g dark muscavado sugar
 2 tsp ground ginger
 1 tsp ground cinnamon
 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
 1 pinch salt

1

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees centigrade or 160 degrees centigrade if using a fan assisted oven

2

In a bowl mix the egg, mashed banana, butter and vanilla extract

3

In another bowl mix the flour, spices, bicarbonate of soda and salt

4

Add the wet to the dry ingredients and stir to mix together.

5

Grease and line a 1lb cake tin. Pour the mixture into the tin.

6

Bake for 1 hour.

7

Remove and leave to cool before slicing.

    Hi Jenny. I made this today for the first time because I had some bananas to use. Was a bit worried it might be too heavy as I only had strong wholemeal bread flour! Mixed it all up in my Thermomix and added some sultanas to it. It’s delicious! A huge hit with the family and will be perfect to put a slice in my son’s packed lunch!

    I tried this recipe this morning. It is amazing. My daughter had four slices for breakfast, lol. I subbed fresh ginger and pure’ed it with one of the bananas. I also added some frozen blueberries for fun. Delicious. Will definitely keep this recipe and make it again.
