I saw a recipe for a
Sugar and Dairy free date nectar and banana cake on Mummy Mishap's blog on a linky that I felt I had to try. But when I got to the cupboard I realised I did not have any nectar syrup left. I looked for agave but none of it either, so having put myself in the mood to bake I decided on golden syrup instead. So having rooted round the cupboard to see what else I could pop in it I came up with dried fruit and linseed.
Peanut butter and dried fruit cake
Preparation time: 15 minutes
|
Cook time: 30 minutes
|
Serves: 10 to 12
|
Ingredients
250g baking golden syrup
225g peanut butter
2 small over ripe bananas chopped
200g mixed fruit, I used dried prunes, apricots and currants
25g linseeds
3 eggs, beaten
300g self-raising flour
Directions
Measure golden syrup and peanut butter into a pan
Heat gently until melted and stir to combine
Add chopped banana, dried fruit and linseed and stir to combine
Cool for ten minutes and then gently break up fruit with a stick blender
Add eggs and flour and put into greased baking tin
Cook for approx 30 mins at 150 oC ( I used my halogen oven)
Cool on a baking tray and then cut into squares
|
|
place peanut butter and golden syrup in pan to melt |
|
weigh out the mixed dried fruit of your choice |
|
add dried fruit and banana and leave to cool |
Had you wanted you could have cut up the dried fruit and mashed the banana first rather than blitzing
|
blitz a wee bit to break up the fruit |
A square tin would have been better but the ones I have do not fit in my halogen oven.
|
in the tins ready to be cooked |
Quick and easy with minimal mixing.
|
cooked and very tasty |
