Got some overripe bananas laying around? Make the best of it by baking a loaf of fresh banana bread, then top with a healthy helping of Datehini and extra sliced banana on top for a filling, nutritious snack.
BANANA BREAD
Ingredients:
- 1 1/3 cups mashed ripe banana (3-4 bananas)
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (vegan option) or 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup (80 mL) any milk
- 1/3 cup (80 mL) canola oil or coconut oil, melted
- 2 Tbsp Datehini Original

1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp PurDate sugar (sieve if clumpy)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking soda

Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with oil.
- Mash the banana in a large bowl. Stir the ground flax, milk, melted oil, Datehini, and vanilla into the banana mixture until combined.
