One-Bowl Banana Date Bread
This one-bowl banana date bread is a great bread to keep in your weekday breakfast rotation. We prep the batter in one bowl and use olive oil and date syrup to create a light and balanced sweetness for this breakfast bread.
Equipment
- 1 loaf pan measures about 8.5 x 4.5", 1 pound capacity
- 1 large mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 4 very ripe bananas
- 1/3 cup date syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup finely chopped toasted walnuts
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup vanilla flavored yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place a rack in the center of the oven.
- Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with a nonstick cooking spray or rubbed in butter and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add the olive oil, maple syrup, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir gently to combine until just mixed.
- Next, add in the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until the batter forms. Avoid over mixing as it will create a more dense loaf.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake until golden brown, about 50 to 60 minutes, with a toothpick or knife comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
