Banana bread should be a staple food in any kitchen – it's simple, contains basic ingredients and is quick to make. What's more, it's a great opportunity to use up bananas that are past their best. In this recipe, I've used a mix of spelt and plain flour (but you can just use plain flour if you don't have any spelt flour to hand) and the cocoa powder gives the banana bread a subtle chocolate flavour.
