In a food processor cream the butter and sugar, keeping the blade on add in the eggs followed by the flour, oats, nuts, banana and dried spices.
Then add in the dried fruit allow it to blitz for 20 seconds then turn off.
Butter or oil a pudding basin then cut as small disc of baking paper and press in the base of the basin.
Spoon in your mixture and push down with a spoon. I started trying to explain how to cookthe pudding but this video does a better job as it’s a bit confusing when you first do it!

You want to fill a pot with simmering water, when you place the pudding you want the water come just over half way up the pudding bowl. Steam for 8 hours.
Once steamed remove the foil and place it in a tin. When you want to serve it you need to cover it in the same way again and steam for 2 hours then serve with some rum on top and my vanilla cashew cream!
