This gluten free Autumnal bake is ideal to use up black bananas which otherwise may go to waste. Combined with brambles (blackberries) forraged from the hedgerows it's an economical treat. Moist and moreish, Banana, Bramble and Almond Traybake is perfect served with a cuppa or as a dessert with lashings of custard.
Brambles have got to be the original foraged food. Everyone knows what they are and they're easy to find and identify. I have vivid memories of picking them along old railway lines as a child with my Grandma Corntown - plus the inevitable accompanying purple stained fingers and scratches from their thorns (and the occasional nettle sting into the bargain). There's been a bumper crop this year and its not too late to head out to the hedgerows and take advantage of free food! (for any sassenachs brambles = blackberries)
