This is a great little dessert to serve mid week or for Sunday lunch and is easy to make as it is just a sponge mixture with mashed bananas folded in. Why not get the kids to cook it for you! It is delicious served hot, straight from the oven with a good dollop of vanilla ice cream, clotted cream or just whipped double cream.

Top tip for making Hot banana pudding
You could bake this in one small baking dish – about 500ml. Bake for a little longer- 20-25 mins or until golden and just firm in the centre.
