450g bananas, peeled and mashed (the older the better)

225g self-raising flour (Shipton 113)

100g margarine

150g caster sugar

1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp chia seeds (ground), mixes with 6 tbsp water

175g raisins (or other dried fruit of your choice...or what you have in the cupboard)

Pre-heat oven to 180°C/Gas 4

Grind chia seeds and mix with water.

Mix all ingredients, except raisins, together.

Add dried fruit and spoon mixture in to greased or lined loaf tin.

Bake for one and a half hours - it's done when a skewer comes out clean from the centre.

Cool and slice.

(I often make two at a time and freeze one.)
