Banana Date Bread

Banana bread is a real BIG weakness of mine. Lately I have been itching to make some, so I finally caved to my craving and did. This Banana Date Bread recipe is a delicious spin on your traditional classic Banana Bread.

I added the tasty nutrient dense fruit , dates! Dates are a fabulous compliment to banana bread. Not only do they taste amazing , but they have an excellent nutritional profile. They are super rich in fiber, and very high in antioxidants. They are also an excellent natural sweetener. I have used date sugar, and pure date syrup as an alternative to sweeten my coffee, tea, oatmeal, and even at times my baked goods.

Yum. Yum. Banana Date Bread!

Make sure when you are getting all of your ingredients together, that your cashew milk is unsweetened. I can’t stress that enough. My favorite brand I like to use is  Silk Unsweetened Cashew Milk. I have been able to find it at Walmart, Target, and Natural Grocers. This banana date bread is gluten free and dairy free. We love how simple this recipe is to make and so will you.
