Sophisticated twist on banana bread 

In the realm of comforting baked goods, few treats evoke the same sense of nostalgia and warmth as a well-made banana bread. Yet, in the hands of a creative mind and skilled baker, this classic recipe can transcend the ordinary and become a culinary masterpiece. Not Just Any Banana Bread, a delightful fusion of traditional ingredients with a touch of sophistication. 

Ingredients for 1 banana bread: 

• 4 ripe bananas 

• 3 eggs 

• 2 tbsp filter coffee 

• 2 tsp baking powder 

• 3 dates 

• 5.29 oz all-purpose flour 

• 3.88 oz almond meal 

• 1 tsp cinnamon 

• Optional: nuts 

Method: 

• Preheat the oven to 356 degrees Fahrenheit and allow the dates to soften slightly in warm water. 

• In a mixing bowl, combine 3 bananas, eggs, cinnamon, coffee, and chopped dates. Mix until a smooth batter forms. 

• Sift in the flour, baking powder, and almond meal. Stir until well combined. 

• Grease a loaf tin thoroughly to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the tin. 

• Slice the remaining banana in half lengthwise and place it on top of the batter. 

• Bake for 50 minutes until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. 

• Allow the banana bread to cool slightly before slicing and serving. 

• Eva’s Not Just Any Banana Bread elevates the humble loaf to new heights with the addition of aromatic cinnamon and a hint of rich coffee. The use of almond meal adds a delightful nuttiness and a tender crumb, while the dates impart a natural sweetness, ensuring each bite is a symphony of flavors.
