Banana-Date Nut Bread

I decided to make this bread when my mom (the Queen of Banana Bread) was in Chicago, why I did this I have no clue. The flavor of the bread turned out great, but I used to much liquid so it was a little gooey inside. Next time I will try this out with my mom to get a better result!

Until then, this is the recipe I used. I altered it so that there is less liquid and the bread will have a much better texture!

3 ripe mashed bananas

6 chopped medjool dates

1/4 c applesauce

1 egg

¼ c agave (or sugar)

½ c coarsely chopped walnuts

1 1/4 c flour

¼ c almond meal

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

2 tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp nutmeg

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl mix together the bananas, applesauce, egg, agave, dates, and walnuts.

In a small bowl mix all of the dry ingredients together.

Then mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.

Pour the batter into a greased (cooking spray) 9x5 loaf pan.

Bake for 30-45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

Optional: Sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking and more about 10 minutes before its done.
