Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup dates, pitted and chopped
2 ½ cups ground almonds
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
1 pinch sea salt
6 ripe bananas
⅓ cup fruity olive oil
3 eggs, separated
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place dates in a bowl and cover with hot water; soak until soft, about 20 minutes.
  • In the meantime, combine ground almonds, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; stir until combined. Mash 5 bananas in a large bowl; add remaining cinnamon and nutmeg. Reserve remaining banana.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Mix olive oil into the bowl with the bananas using an electric mixer until fully incorporated. Beat in egg yolks one at a time. Add vanilla extract and continue whisking until combined.
  • Check dates for softness. Drain and transfer to a food processor; pulse until a paste forms. Add paste to banana mixture until fully incorporated.
  • Beat egg whites in a bowl until they form soft peaks. Fold into the bowl with the banana batter. Slice remaining banana into coins and fold in. Transfer batter to the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool 30 minutes before removing from pan and slicing.
