RECIPE: Chocolate Chip Banana Traybake

-
So the original plan was blondies. I ADMIT IT. They didn't turn out exactly as I was expecting. HOWEVER. They were still delish. Sooooo... No qualms. (I have no idea if that is an appropriate use of that expression.)

 Anyway, I present this traybake/blondie/cake of chocolate chip and banana awesomeness. Let's just take a moment. 

Think of them as slightly cakey blondies. Or slightly more dense and squidgy cake. Either way, my family polished them off with no complaints!

 Ingredients:

  • 100g unsalted butter, softened
  • 175g soft light brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 125g plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 very ripe bananas, mashed 
  • 150g dark/milk/white chocolate, broken into chunks*
*I used dark chocolate but any would totes work. Or maybe even a mixture. Go crazy. 

Method:
  1. Preheat your oven to 170 degrees C.
  2. Line a 20cm by 20cm tin with greaseproof paper.
  3. Cream together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Beat the eggs and vanilla into the mixture.
  5. Add the flour (sieved) and baking powder and mix again.
  6. Fold in the mashed banana and chocolate chunks.
  7. Pour into your prepared tin and pop in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Cut into squares and tuck in while they're still warm, oooh yeah. 


















Enjoy, you beautiful people! Holly x

Where to Eat in Madrid: Part 1

I've decided I can't live in a big city when I'm older.  I need to be surrounded by nothing but fields of sheep .  How am I supposed to resist the 7 million different eateries right outside my front door?! Everything from pizza and burgers to ice cream and churros is less than a 5 minute walk from my piso in Madrid and it's pretty stressful, I tell ya. This sort of thing just can't be helped It's safe to say I've sampled a fair few restaurants/cafés/bars (did you know Madrid has more bars per square metre than anywhere else in Europe(!)) since arriving in Madrid 5 months ago - and there's so many more to discover! So I thought I'd start a little series of my favourite places (I couldn't possibly condense them all into one post, or we'd be here for hours.) Sorry in advance for making you really hungry. Trust . If you want... BRUNCH Name:   Federal Café Where?: Plaza de las Comendadores, Plaza del Conde de Barajas  My fav

Hi friends. ONLY ONE WEEK OF EXAMS LEFT. Woo .  5 down, 2 to go, and I'm not going to lie the motivation is flagging majorly. As is the will to not just live off pizza and  chocolate biscuits .  I came back after Easter determined to try even harder than normal to eat as healthily as possible, which isn't so easy when exam stress hits. That's where these cookies come in: Perfect for a library snack! Not only are they not packed with sugar and butter, they're really easy and super quick to make! Put on some music, throw some shapes in your kitchen and whip up these beauts - the best type of revision break. Ingredients (makes 9 small cookies): 2 heaped tbsp peanut butter 4 tbsp runny honey Half a ripe banana 4/5 dates, chopped into small pieces (raisins would work too) 1 cup oats 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp vanilla extract Method: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.

I somehow only have just over two months left in Madrid , it's really snuck up on me, I tell ya. And the thing I'm most worried about? Leaving before I've eaten at every place on my 'Where To Eat in Madrid' bucket list. Yes that is an actual thing I have made, #priorities. I mean, it's difficult, you want to go back to the good places AND try all the new places. This year abroad stuff is really tough.   So here is Part 2 of the highly acclaimed series, I know you've all been waiting with bated breath. If you want... PIZZA Name : Ôven Where? : Calle de Fuencarral, Calle Gran Vía,  My favourite : Pizza De La Huerta Pizza Pizza Pizza. The tagline of this place is 'Mozzarella Bar'. Need I say more? But for reals, this is definitely the best pizza I've had while being in Madrid, maybe even EVER - serious allegations being made here you guys.  They also have an amazing selection of Mozzarella and Burrata dishes, their speciality, whi
