Spiced Banana and Walnut Pies

  • Preparation Time25 mins
  • Cooking Time15 mins
  • Serves9
  • DifficultyEasy
3 over ripe bananas
60g muscavado sugar
60g chopped walnuts
1 tbsp ground mixed spice
1 roll pre-rolled sweet shortcrust pastry, cut into discs

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl with a fork. Add the muscovado sugar, chopped walnuts and ground mixed spice, and mix together well.

Grease a muffin tray and line with pastry discs. Spoon a tablespoon of the mixture into each case and place another pastry disc over the top, pushing down around the edges to stick them to the bases. Make a small hole in the centre to allow steam to escape.

Bake for 15 minutes, until golden.
