Banana Bread with Dates & Pecan Crumble

Bored of regular banana bread? Try this more exciting variation with dates and a delicious pecan crumble.

It’s still simple and easy and doesn’t use any oil or butter, just ripe bananas to provide moisture. All you need to make it is two bowls and a spoon.

While this recipe will work without the dates, they’re a lovely touch for natural sweetness. If you don’t have them or don’t like them, try a nut of your choice or some roughly chopped chocolate.

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a 25 cm loaf tin with baking paper.

Step 2
Start by making the Pecan Crumble Topping. Roughly chop the pecans and place them in a small bowl. Add the sugar, flour, salt, and butter, and rub together with your fingers until crumbs form. Set aside.

Step 3
To make the banana bread, peel and mash the bananas in a large bowl. In a small bowl, beat the eggs then add to the mashed banana, then add the sugar and whisk together.

Step 4
Sift in the flour and cinnamon, then add the dates and gently fold in, being careful not to over mix. This will help keep the banana bread soft.

Step 5
Pour the batter to your tin and sprinkle the Pecan Crumble Topping over the top.

Step 6
Bake for 40 minutes or until a skewer in the middle comes out clean, and the top is golden brown.
