Time 25m

Yield Makes 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

75g salted butter
100g light brown muscovado sugar
1 medium egg
1 medium ripe banana, mashed
250g plain flour
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
1½ tsp cinnamon
50g raisins, chocolate chips or pecan nuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and line two baking sheets with baking parchment.
  • Heat the butter in a small pan on the hob, or in a heatproof bowl in a microwave on high in 30-second bursts, until melted. Tip the butter into a mixing bowl if melted on the hob.
  • Stir the sugar into the melted butter with a wooden spoon, then beat in the egg until smooth. Stir in the mashed banana. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and a pinch of salt into the bowl and mix until it forms a soft dough. Add the raisins, chocolate chips or nuts, if using, and stir well until evenly distributed.
  • Use a teaspoon to drop small scoops of the mixture onto the prepared trays, spacing them well apart as they'll spread. It should make about 24 cookies. Bake for 10-12 mins until they are light brown on the edges and feel dry to the touch.
  • Leave on the tray for a couple of minutes to set, then lift onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Will keep in an airtight container for up to three days.
