Deliciously simple banana date honey bread perfect for the whole family.
Ingredients:
  • 125g canola spread, softened
  • 180.00 gm brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 4 over-ripe bananas, mashed
  • 437.50 ml plain flour
  • 3.75 gm bicarbonate of soda
  • 6 fresh dates, seeded, quartered
  • 57.20 gm honey
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 170C (150C fan-forced) while you prepare a 7cm-deep, 9cm x 25.5cm loaf pan by greasing it and lining the base and sides with baking paper, leaving a 5cm overhang at both long ends.
  • With an electric mixer, whip together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition. Blend in the banana until smooth. Fold in the sifted flour, bicarbonate of soda, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  • Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, then evenly scatter dates on top. Bake in the oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes. If you notice the dates starting to over-brown, cover with foil. Bake until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it stand for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool slightly. While the bread is still warm, drizzle it with honey.
