Nutritional Benefits

Bananas are a great source of potassium, which can help to lower blood pressure. The wholemeal flour is a source of fibre, helping to maintain a healthy digestive system. Walnuts are a good source of omega 3 fatty acids.

Ingredients: Serves 4

• 4 very ripe bananas, mashed
• 3 free range eggs, beaten
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 140g wholemeal flour

• 2 tsp baking powder
• 75g muscavado sugar
• 50g walnuts, chopped
• large pinch salt

How to
