With the new school year less than a week away it was time to stock the pantry with yummy snacks for the first week back.

First on the list was Banana Bread with date and Walnut. Very easy to prepare... the thermomix blades make chopping dates and walnuts a 15 second job. Following the recipie in the thermomix cookbook it was in the oven in just under 2 minutes from getting all the fixings on the bench. Best off all with this bread is grinding your own wholemeal flour from wheat grain.
Second on the list was Anzac biscuits. We find the thermomix instructions leave the oats too fine. We add half the amount required as per the instructions and then hand mix in the remaining amount of oats at the end before baking.

Both will be lucky to make it to the first day of school. I am sure more baking will be required on the weekend.
