Banana date loaf

There is nothing quite like the smell of banana loaf fresh out the oven, and with a recipe this easy who can resist trying it out! This recipe is from taste.com.au and has been tried and tested. And tasted.

Ingredients:

2 cups self-raising flour

1 tsp bicarb soda

1 tsp ground nutmeg

125g pitted dates, chopped

½ cup caster sugar

1 cup milk

2 eggs

1 cup mashed banana (about 2 large)

Preheat oven to 180^oC. Grease a large loaf pan (24 x 13cm). Mix flour, bicarb soda and nutmeg in a bowl. Mix through the chopped dates and sugar.

Combine milk, eggs and mashed banana in a separate bowl. Fold the date mixture through until well combined and pour combined mixture into the loaf pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, turn out onto a wire rack to completely cool.

Slice and serve! Goes down well with a good cup of coffee.
