Apple Frunola

Apple Frunola is one of my favourite breakfasts. It tastes so yummy!

3 apples
3-4 figs
2 small handfuls of almonds
2 small handfuls of sultanas
Shredded Coconut

Place the almonds in a food processor and blend them. You want them blended small but not too small as you still want to crunch them when you eat. Add the figs and blend until they are mixed well with the almonds. Spoon the mixture out into a bowl and place the apples into the food processor. Blend the apples until they are in small chunks. Don't blend into mush.

Spoon the apple into the bowl with the figs and almonds, throw in the sultanas and coconut mix it all together and you have a delicious breakfast that is easy to make. This will make about one large breakfast bowl of Apple Frunola.

It tastes really nice with a light sprinkle of cinnamon over the top. You can also add bananas for an extra flavour and to bulk it out a bit.

Banana Bread

Yesterday Gimli made Banana Muffins, they were delicious! But my favourite banana recipe is Banana Bread, and here is the recipe I use.


Ingredients


2 bananas
2 tablespoons of golden syrup
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup self-raising flour
pinch of salt


Method


Heat oven to 180°c (160°c fan forced)

Grease and line the base of a loaf pan.

In a medium bowl, mash bananas then add golden syrup. Add sugar and stir in. Add egg, sifted flour and salt and lightly mix until combined.

Pour loaf into pan and cook for 30 minutes or until a skewer is inserted into the middle and comes out clean.

Allow to cool in tin for 10 minutes, then turn onto wire rack to cool.

Enjoy it warm straight from the oven (my favourite) or lightly grill it and then enjoy with butter melting on top.

Tip: You can also make variations to this by throwing in a handful of chopped dates just before pouring into tin to bake or adding choc chips to make a choc banana bread.
