Oil spray
½ cup soft brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup low-fat vanilla fromage frais
2 Tbsp. canola oil
1 cup mashed banana
¼ cup golden raisins
1 cup self-rising flour
¼ cup whole wheat self-rising flour
½ tsp. baking soda
2 Tbsp. unprocessed wheat bran
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
½ tsp. ground nutmeg
Low-fat plain yogurt or fromage frais, to serve
Preheat oven to 315 degrees. Spray a 4×7-inch loaf tin with canola oil. Line the base with baking paper. Put the brown sugar, egg, fromage frais, and oil in a large bowl and whisk until well combined. Stir in the bananas and golden raisins, then fold in the sifted flours, baking soda, bran, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Return the husks to the bowl. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 50 minutes or until cooked through when tested with a skewer. Serve warm or cold with low-fat yogurt or fromage frais. It is also delicious toasted. Hint: Two ripe bananas will yield 1 cup of mashed bananas.
