Banana Bread

This recipe is delicious and filling.  When buying medjool dates make sure they are the big soft ones, not the small dried out type.  Also make sure you remove the pits before blending them unless you like woody fiber in your banana bread!

Banana Bread

  4 ripe bananas

  1/2 cup apple sauce

1/2 cup pineapple or fruit juice of any kind

juice of 1 lemon

  4 cups oat flour (can be oatmeal ground in a blender or food processor)

  2 tsp. baking soda

  1 tsp. baking powder

  2 tsp. cinnamon

  1/4 tsp. nutmeg or allspice

  8 medjool dates 

2 TBSP ground Flax
stevia (I put in a small amount, don't  have measurement for this)

Blend the bananas, apple sauce, pineapple or juice, medjool dates in a blender or food processor until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients well. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Add the dry mixture to the bananas while processing, or pour the blended bananas in a separate bowl, and mix the dry ingredients in by hand. Pour into a glass loaf pan, and bake for 45 minutes, covering with aluminum foil for the first 25 minutes.
