Recipe's preparation

    adapted from Clone of Quick and Easy Banana Date Loaf recipe (athompson)
  1. Before you start:

    a) Set oven to 170 degrees

    b) Line a loaf tin width-ways with baking paper - for a (lazy) rustic way of doing this, crush your paper into a ball first then flatten out before lining the tin. I also give it a light spray with non-stick oil before lining.
  2. Now to create your mix:

    1. Measure in dates and choc chips - mix for 6-8 seconds on speed 10.

    2. Add the remainder of ingredients (except extra choc chips). The order of this isn't important, just measure as you go (I tend to add wet ingredients before the dry ones).

    3. Mix for 30 seconds on Speed 4-5.

    4. Scrape down side and mix again for another 5-8 seconds if necessary.

    5. Mix in extra choc chips (either by hand or on Speed soft-1 for 5-10 seconds) if you like that extra chocolatey zing - my kids prefer this version tmrc_emoticons.-)

    6. Pour mix into your loaf tin (or cake tin/muffin patties if you'd prefer) and place in the middle of your pre-heated oven for approx. 1 hour (depending on your oven so just keep a check around this point and adjust time as necessary).
  3. From the oven allow to stand for 10-15 minutes on a cooling rack before removing from the tin. It should slide out easily by lifting the long edges of your lining paper straight out onto your cooling rack. Allow to cool for another half hour or so before cutting for neater slicing - or dig straight in and enjoy warm/hot with some icecream or cream...YUM!!!

    I’m amazed that there is no sugar in this apart from the dates and chocolate! I did use the extra choc chips, and used GF flour and it was delicious with whipped cream and raspberries. No complaints from the rest of the family either.

    This was delicious! It took about an hour and a half in my oven to cook through to the middle though. I'm guessing it would depend on oven and how big the bananas are  tmrc_emoticons.)

    YUM!  This is beautiful - especially warm!  I used medjool dates and it was very sweet - will try with normal dates next time (or reduce the medjools).  Whole family loved it tmrc_emoticons.)
