Notes
This is the second Real Food Rebels recipe I have created for the local primary school during the lockdown. This recipe was designed for the year 5 class who were studying Fair Trade and the commodities that is supports.
Chocolate, bananas, honey and cinnamon can all be bought in the UK with a fair trade guarentee.
This can be made independently by children aged 8 upwards with a little adult supervision or help for the hot bits. Getting children cooking and learning kitchen skills is a vital life skill - have a go with your children.re4r
