We have six bunches of bananas on (there’s a reason Coffs is the home of the Big Banana!) – three Cavendish and three Ladyfinger. We also have two of a Filipino variety that have yet to fruit. They are supposed to be a dwarf, cooking variety so they may be Saging Mondo? Luckily, my grandkids are as boring with their favourite lunchbox recess baking as they are with their pita…
The recipe makes 12 tartlets. They are perfect for lunch boxes, or party finger food – which is where these went. These are really quick and simple, and they were a party hit
I’m loving my gem iron. I found it in an op shop, and it’s the perfect implement for breakfast baking because gems are so very fast.
I found this gem iron in an op shop. It took me several months and quite a few goes to learn how to use it, but now it is one of my favourite kitchen tools.
Carambolas (Star Fruit) don’t appear in fruit shops much, and I wonder why? They’re a really nice fruit, sweet and juicy and full of vitamin C and potassium. If you live in an area where they will grow, they fruit prolifically in mid-winter and you are likely to have a glut of them.
I have been waiting for apple season to post this recipe. It is, like all the Muesli Bar Challenge recipes, fast and easy enough to knock up on a weeknight, and low fat, low sugar, low GI enough to belong in everyday school or work lunch boxes.
This recipe is in my handwritten book as Wwoofer’s Zuke Bread because the original came to me from a wwoofer years ago. It’s evolved a bit since then, and I’ve turned it into a muffin to make it more suitable for lunch boxes.
