Optional to add if you wish; mashed banana, lemon zest, grated carrot/zuchinni, coconut or vanilla essence, walnuts, LSA.Should be a gooey mixture, put in baking paper lined loaf tin (glass one excellent) and bake about 40 mins in a moderate oven. Big loaf, keeps well. Chia seeds replaces the butter, splenda replaces the sugar.
