Yum!
I had a couple of black mouldy banana's at home so I thought I'd bake something other than Banana Muffins.
I found this recipe on Taste for Banana Date Loaf and had a look at the feedback for it and decided to alter the recipe a little...
By the way.... Yes that is a whole in my loaf, and it was a little undercooked in the middle (note next time keep it in the oven just a little longer!)
And here's the recipe for you to try! Trust me it's awesome!!
Ingredients (serves 12)
* 2 cups (300g) self-raising flour
* 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
* 1 tsp cinnamon
* A handful of pitted dates, chopped

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
Line a 24 x 13.5cm loaf pan with non-stick baking paper. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon into a large bowl. Stir through the dates, chopped walnuts and sugar.
2. Combine the milk, eggs and banana in a separate bowl. Fold into the date mixture until well combined. Pour into the pan.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve with the butter if desired.
