Ingredients

220g bananas (weight without skins, this is approximately 2 large bananas)

60ml neutral oil such as sunflower or rapeseed

1t apple cider vinegar

50g sugar

120g gram flour

1t baking powder

3T cherry jam

3T melted cooking chocolate, use dark or regular, whichever you prefer

Equipment

1lb loaf tin

Baking paper

Bowl

Mixing spoon

Hand blender

Small bowl or cup

Small spoon

Method

1. Heat your oven to 180c/360f/GM4.

2. Line a loaf tin with baking paper.

3. Put the bananas, oil and vinegar in a bowl. Blend with a hand blender until completely smooth. Add the sugar, flour and baking powder and blend again.

4. In a small bowl mix the jam and melted chocolate.

5. Pour one third of the banana batter into the loaf tin, top with half the cherry-chocolate mixture. Add another third of the banana batter, the remaining cherry-chocolate mixture and finally, the remaining banana batter.

6. Use a dinner knife to make the swirl. Dip it into the batter, right to the bottom and then pull it to the top. Do this a few times along the length of the banana bread.

7. Bake the banana bread for 30-40 minutes until it is golden. You can test the doneness of the banana bread by using a cocktail stick or knife but be sure to put it into the banana bread part, not where the cherry-chocolate is, as that remains very moist.
