Ingredients: 

Dry ingredients:

• 1 cup all purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/2 cup chia seeds

• Whisk to combine.

Wet ingredients:

• 20 dates, pitted and chopped

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 cup hot water

In a bowl, add the chopped dates, baking soda and hot water. Stir. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes till dates are soft. Once they are soft, place dates (and it’s liquid) into the food processor and blitz to a chunky paste.

• 4 bananas, mashed with a fork

• 1/4 cup coconut oil

• 1 egg

Add the above to a bowl and stir to combine.

Method:
1. Pre-heat oven to 180C.

2. Mix the wet and dry ingredients.
3. Pour into prepared loaf tins. I’ve lined two small loaf tins (8” x 4”) with coconut oil and baking paper.
4. Slice two bananas lengthwise, top the batter with the sliced bananas - optional.
5. Bake for 50-60 minutes or till a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaves, comes out clean.

Slice and enjoy! 💛
