Banana Bread with Oats & Dates Powder

By

banana breadBanana bread is one delicious loaf that makes a good and nutritious breakfast for kids rather than the usual bread loaf. However, some banana bread recipes are made so sweet with the addition of lots of sugar, a little banana and maybe banana flavour in place of real bananas.

Here is a banana bread recipe that you can comfortably make for the kids and the whole family with the assurance that they are having a healthy breakfast, lunchbox snack or treat. It contains oats and dates powder which are both good sources of carbohydrate and fibre, as well as some essential vitamins and minerals added to give you this beautiful delicious goodness. If you would rather watch the video, then scroll down to get there and see how I made this.

Ingredients:

    • 2 very ripe or overripe bananas
    • 1½ cups plain or self raising flour
    • 1½ tsp baking powder (if using plain flour)
    • ½ tsp baking soda (also called sodium bicarbonate or bicarbonate of soda)
    • ¾ cups ground oats
    • 4 tbsps dried dates powder (make yours here)
    • ¼ cup buttermilk (make your own)
    • ¼ cup vegetable oil
