Glad to hear you enjoyed! I know what you mean about the middle v edge - I have had the same challenge and have been meaning to try to play around with this more to see if there is any way to get past that, other than making small loaves/muffins instead. But agree given ingredients, it's not such an issue (and it's only the very middle I found as well).

Loved this recipe! I made a 3/4 loaf because that’s how many bananas I had and it was lovely, moist and not too sweet. I mixed everything in the food processor and soaked the dates for 5 min in warm water. I love that there’s no added sugar or oil too. The only trouble I had was nailing the bake time- it seems like the inside was still raw by the time the outsides were done- but I really didn’t mind that either!

So it's certainly already a moist loaf due to the banana etc, and not sure the coconut oil will help to make it last longer - typically it's more preservatives like sugar that help that. That said, I don't think coconut oil would be bad in there so feel free to try!

Thank you very much for sharing your recipe. I can't wait to try. Do you think adding 2 tsp of coconut oil would help keep the bread stay moise longer time?

Thanks for the comment Sarah, and I am so glad you liked it! I know what you mean, it does go against the grain of 'normal' recipes but does indeed work! And so glad you enjoyed it - the banana on top sounds a great addition too. Sorry the rating bit wasn't working for you but great to know it would be 5* 🙂

No sugar, butter, oil or milk? I had to have a go anyway and I'm so glad I did. I followed your instructions to the letter (thank you so much for including the weights) apart from adding an extra banana sliced lengthways to the top and it is really lovely. Dryer than a regular banana cake but that is perfect as I want to take mine away with me tomorrow (what is left of it) so I don't want a soggy cake that won't last. Thank you!

PS. I'm really sorry I can't rate the recipe. It won't let me click on 5 stars for some reason.

This is perfect...I originally baked it for my 15 year old pug's birthday as wverything in it is good for dogs.
The no sugar or fat was such a bonus.
I made a double mixture, shared it between 2 round cake tins and sandwiched it with fat free cream cheese and pineapple.
Elmo Pug went berserk for it and so did wveryone else.

Thanks Justine. Now I have started using dates, I use them a lot as they are so tasty and a great alternative to refined sugar.

This bread sounds and looks amazing 😀

Thanks Margy, it was semi on purpose, semi accident that it came out so healthy but it tastes great so obviously worked! Thanks for co-hosting FF this week!

I love that you did not use any added sweeteners. A slice of this bread would make a wonderful breakfast on a rushed morning. Thanks for bringing it to the fiesta!

I need to give this a go sometime soon... it could become a favourite in the house!

Thanks, Michelle. I've been baking a bit more too - its funny how you get in moods like that! I hope you manage to try and enjoy this.

I love banana bread, but I like this idea of combining carrots in with it too. The bread rose so well, and I love the idea of using natural sweeteners. Happy FF and have a wonderful weekend!

My son tasted zucchini cake recently at school and asked me to make it but I bet he'd like this even better and I like all the wholesome ingredients.

Thanks, Dini, it's true, how could combining two great things go wrong?!

Thanks, Michelle, I can understand, but I do really like the taste dates gives so it's become easier to add them when they fit, like here. I hope you manage to try it.

This is great though - what could be better than a mashup of banana bread and carrot cake? 🙂

I keep meaning to experiment with natural sweetness instead of sugar, but then the sugar lures me in haha! This looks amazing though, I need to try it!
