A delightful and healthier take on a classic loaf, combining the natural sweetness of bananas and dates with the crunch of walnuts.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan.
Using parchment paper can make it easier to remove the loaf after baking.
Mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth. Add the dates and milk, mixing well.
Soaking the dates in warm milk beforehand can make them softer and easier to mix.
In another bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking soda, and sugar. Mix thoroughly.
Sifting the flour and baking soda ensures there are no lumps.
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the walnuts.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the loaf at the 50-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Cooling the loaf completely ensures it slices cleanly.
