ok as promised banana and oatmeal bread:
120g oats ( brekky oats are fine )
100g self raising flour
100g brown sugar ( but any sugar works fine )
3 old mushy bananas
2 eggs
120g melted butter
1 teaspoon baking powder ( not bicarb it tastes funny )
1 teaspoon vanilla esscense ( spelling argh )
ok the above is for the cake, the below is optional and for the topping of the cake, i dont always do it but it is nice
bag of crushed walnuts ( or any nuts ) about a large handful
30g plain flour
30g brown sugar
teaspoon of cinnamon
so.........when mixing the cake there is a method... but i just throw it all in.... mix with wooden spoon then at the end put the bananas in by getting them in your hand, squeezing and letting it come all out your fingers. once you add bananas dont mix them up too much or the mix will be runny and ur cake wont set do not whisk this like a cake
the mix should be lumpy and thick
line a standard loaf tin wth baking paper ( u can pick em up for about a quid in wilkos ) throw in ur mixture fill to half way then if you made a topping grab a handful and sprinkle over the top lightly pressing the nuts into the wet cake mix
180 degrees about an hour TA DA done, tastes good cooled or straight out the oven with custard
if ur not sure its done stick a knife in and if it comes out clean its cooked if its sloppy om the knife leave it in, cooking time varies dependant on cooker mine is fan assisted and cooks like a beast so just keep an eye on it
