200 g (7 oz) plain flour

140 g (5 oz) caster sugar

1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 egg whites

3 bananas, mashed

4 tablespoons apple purée or sauce

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas mark 4. Lightly grease a 20x10cm (8x4 in) loaf tin.

2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon. 3. Add egg whites, bananas and apple purée; stir just until combined. Pour batter into prepared tin.

4. Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, until a skewer inserted into centre of loaf comes out clean. Turn out onto wire rack and allow to cool before slicing.
