5 Easy Boredom-Busting Banana Bakes

Banana Bread’s always high up on the list for me when I’m feeling a bit bored and fancy baking something, but don’t want to put in a lot of effort (or ingredients) – it’s an easy, crowd pleasing lump of lush, innit? And it’s the perfect kitchen worktop snack for when you drag your butt away from the computer and head off in search of a mid-morning/mid-afternoon snack to go with your tea or coffee (for those who’ve never worked from home before, the 11am/3pm munchies are real and cannot be ignored). But it gets a bit boring baking the same old loaf over and over again, doesn’t it? At some point, you’ve got to mix things up or go banana bread bonkers. So I’ve scrolled the Cwtch archives and found five Banana-themed recipes that are just as easy, just as satisfying and just as boredom-busting as ye olde bog-standard Banana Bread.

Baked Cream Egg Cheesecake

It’s easy to make and easily adapted, so if cream eggs aren’t your jam swap them out with something else. 🙂

Easy Leek and Mushroom Risotto

I’ve always had trouble making risotto in the past (they’re either too gloopy or not creamy enough), but I think I’ve cracked it with this Easy Leek and Mushroom Risotto. Bulk it out with leftover veg if you’ve got any, and enjoy it all week. It’s also very easy to bring back that fresh, creamy texture once you’ve microwaved it with a little bit of butter (or cream, if you’ve got it). 🙂

5 Things I've Been Loving Lately
