I've been making this recipe for years and find it a quick and easy treat that the whole family loves. The ingredients are all easily sourced and very affordable, while the recipe itself is practically fool-proof. It's a great homemade snack for school or work lunch-boxes, or a simple desert to whip up quickly for unexpected visitors.

Mash two medium bananas and add to the mixture in the blender, followed by three large tablespoons of plain yoghurt and the tin of coconut cream.

When the ingredients have completely blended, gradually start adding the self raising flour. Once all the flour has been added, the mixture can be transferred into a bowl. Gradually add some extra flour if the mixture is too runny.

Chop the dates into small pieces, and add them, along with the sultanas, to the mixture.
