Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas 4 and lightly grease a large baking sheet with the rapeseed oil.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and cinnamon together.

Step 3

In another bowl, mash the banana with a fork, add the egg and beat well. Mix in the sugar, oil, vanilla extract and 50ml water.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana and egg mixture, then fold in the sultanas and apple.

Step 5

Pile the mixture into 12 small irregular heaps on the greased baking sheet, using a fork to create lots of little spikes.

Step 6

Bake for 18-22 minutes then remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.

Recipe tips

These are best eaten when still warm but can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
You could add other spices – try ground mixed spice, ginger, nutmeg or cardamom in place of the cinnamon.
Adding banana means you use less sugar and fat, whilst boosting the nutrients.
Freeze in freezer bags, wrapped in foil or greaseproof paper, for up to three months.
