BANANA DATE BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place dates in small pan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and allow dates to soften 5-7 minutes. Remove dates from water and transfer to a blender or food processor. Purée until a smooth paste is formed. 2. In a medium bowl, mix 1-1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in walnuts. 3. In a small bowl, combine mashed bananas, yogurt, whole egg, egg white, and vanilla extract. Add 1/2 cup date purée to banana mixture. (Refrigerate any extra purée for future use.) Add banana mixture to flour mixture and mix just until combined. Do not over mix. 4. Coat a 9-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Coat bottom and sides with remaining 1 tablespoon whole-wheat pastry flour, shaking out excess. Pour in batter and sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Cool in pan.

DATE-SWEETENED BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 5 x 3 loaf pan. (Can be lined with parchment if it is aluminum.)
• 2. Place the dates in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the hot water and allow the dates to soften for at least 10 minutes. (I usually get the rest of my ingredients ready while the dates are softening.)
• 3. Turn the mixer on low speed and blend until the water has incorporated with the dates. Turn the mixer to medium low speed and beat the dates until a smooth puree forms.
• 4. Add the butter or coconut oil and beat until well blended. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix.
• 5. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add to the butter-date mixture and mix until just combined.
• 6. Fold in the mashed bananas and walnuts.
• 7. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes (I made it in many different ovens with this range of time), or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out barely clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool on a rack.

BANANA DATE BREAD

Steps:

• Grease a 9x5x3 loaf pan. (I often make a double batch of this recipe and use 3 small loaf pans (7 3/8x 3 5/8) instead of 2 pans this size.)
• Cream together butter and sugar until light. Mix in the eggs. Add bananas and mix well.
• Add salt and soda to creamed mixture, mix and then add the flour a half cup at a time beating quickly.
• Stir in dates and nuts. (I use the pre-chopped dates sold in the store, if you find you have to chop your dates, you will have to mix them with a little flour so they will not stick together.)
• Preheat over to 350 degrees. Turn batter into pan. Let sit for 20 minutes. Bake 60 minutes or until done (toothpick inserted into bread comes out clean.) Bread will be very dark. Cool 10 minutes on wire rack and remove from pan. I usually leave a little longer and turn pan upside down to help bread release from pan.
