BANANA LIQUEUR (NO ADDED SUGAR)

Steps:

• Mash bananas in a bowl. Add to a large jar, then cover with rum, shake and stir to combine. Put the lid on and put away in a cool, dark place for a minimum of 3 days, (preferably 7 days).
• When time is up, strain bananas away from the rum mixture, discarding banana. You may need to use cheesecloth to avoid getting fruit sediment in the mixture.
• In a sauce pan, make your simple syrup by heating water to a boil, removing from the heat, then stirring in allulose. Allow to cool for a bit, then add in optional vanilla extract and stir.
• Add simple syrup mixture to banana rum mixture, and shake to combine. Allow the flavors to meld for a day or so for best results. Store in a glass container in a cool dark place for up to 1 year! Add to various cocktails.

SUGAR-FREE BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Grown ups: Preheat the oven to 180C/ 160C fan/ gas mark 4. Grease and line a 450g loaf/1lb tin with baking parchment.
• Children: Weigh the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sultanas into a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon. Then weigh the butter, vanilla essence, egg, milk and mashed bananas and put into another bowl or jug and mix with a small balloon whisk or fork. Pour the 'wet' banana mixture into the 'dry' flour mixture and combine thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Weighing needs to be very accurate when baking so help older children to measure carefully. Younger children can also get involved by spooning or pouring into the scales with adult supervision. Younger children can also beat the egg with a fork and mash the banana with a potato masher.
• Grown ups: Pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 30 - 40 mins or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven, allow to cool in the tin for 10 mins then turn out.
• Children: Drizzle with agave syrup if using.
