This is one of our favourites from Steve’s mum. Tart cranberries work brilliantly with the sweetness of the bananas. Apparently it can be served toasted but ours has never hung around long enough for us to be able to confirm this.

Ingredients
225g caster sugar
100g softened butter
3 ripe bananas peeled
and chunked
4 tbsp milk
2 eggs
300g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
50g chopped walnuts
170g dried cranberries

Instructions
1. Stick the oven to 180° and line a loaf tin.
2. Blend the sugar and the butter, add bananas, milk and eggs, then the flour and the baking powder.
3. Finally the walnuts and the cranberries and pop the mixture in the tin and the tin in the oven for about an hour (a skewer should come out almost dry).
4. Leave to cool for as long as your self control lasts.
