Method:
1	Preheat oven to 190°C/180°C Fan/Gas Mark 4.
2	Line a 9in x 5in loaf tin with baking parchment.
3	In a large bowl, combine the flour, SPLENDAŽ Granulated, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda.
4	In a medium bowl mash the bananas and vanilla extract, then add the fromage frais, oil, skimmed milk, egg and mix together.
5	Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture. Mix gently just to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts and cherry pieces, if using.
6	Evenly spread the batter into the prepared loaf tin. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a thin skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
7	Place the loaf tin on a cooling rack for at least 10 minutes. Remove loaf from tin and continue cooling on wire rack. Cut into thick slices to serve.
