Sugar-free Banana and Date Loaf

I have made this banana and date loaf 4 times since I found the recipe three weeks ago. I also have bananas at home right now ripening enough so I can make another loaf!

Here is the recipe.

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup of flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

4-6 bananas

6-7 dates

2 eggs

2 tablespoons rolled oats (I use oatmeal)

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

about 1/4 cup of butter

To make:

1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius

1. Combine all dry ingredients (using a sieve) and mix well

2. Add bananas, eggs, butter and dates to a blender and blend until smooth (I don't have a blender, so I just mash the bananas and chop the dates really finely and then mix it together in a bowl

3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well.

4. Pour the mixture in to a loaf tin and place in the oven for 50-60 minutes (until cooked)

(A couple times I haven't used dates and it still works fine)

It is the best! I love it.

Baking

Last week I decided to unleash my inner housewife girlfriend and bake for S and I. I am doing sugar free February and found a perfect recipe for a sugar free Banana and Date Loaf.

We went shopping on Thursday night and I went to the fruit section only to realise the bananas were green. Cue annoyed me! I couldn't bake it right away and I spent the week willing my bananas to hurry up and ripen.

Last night, finally I had rippened bananas so I baked.

It is amazing! Even though there is no sugar or sweetener, waiting for my bananas to ripen made them extra sweet and the loaf is perfect!
