Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped dates, brown sugar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the dates are soft. Remove from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and baking soda. Set aside.
In another bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the cooled date mixture to the bananas and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts gently into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your delicious Date, Walnut, and Banana Loaf. Enjoy it as is, or spread with a bit of butter for an extra treat!
Tips:
- Make sure the date mixture has cooled significantly before adding it to the dry ingredients to avoid activating the baking soda too early.
- For extra flavor, toast the walnuts lightly in a pan before adding them to the batter.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the dates with the water and sugar until smooth after boiling and cooling.
- Store the loaf in an airtight container to keep it fresh for up to a week.
Enjoy your homemade Date, Walnut and Banana Loaf, a perfect combination of sweetness and crunch. This loaf is great for sharing with family and friends, or as a wholesome treat just for you.
