Banana and Dates Bread

It's Hari Raya Puasa time and dates are available. 

Always want to try my hands to make sticky dates pudding. But before I do it, I better try this recipe instead.  Hubby loves banana and cinnamon bread. Instead of adding other dry fruits, I add dates instead. 

Very easy to do and complete within 30 minutes.  A simple loaf to have on a beautiful weekend.

Ingredient :

• Banana - 4-5 pieces, mash it
• Chop Dates - 1 cup, cut into small pieces
• 2 eggs
• Brown Sugar - 1 cup
• Butter - 1 cup, soften
• Cinnamon Power - 1 teaspoon or more
• Baking Power - 1 teaspoon
• Baking Soda - 1 teaspoon
• All purpose flour - 1 3/4 cup, sifted
• Maple Syrup - 1/4 cup 
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon

Direction :

Start heating up the oven.

Flour, baking soda, baking powder sift together. Add Cinnamon and set aside.

Place Butter and Sugar in an electric mixer.  Gradually add eggs (1 by 1), banana, dates and maple syrup. Make sure all are mixed up well.

Lightly grease pan loaf or use the tefal coated loaf and pour the mixture in.

Oven 150-160C, bake it for 35 - 50 minutes.  Use a toothpick and stick it into the bread. If the toothpick comes out clean, then its done!
