Cook time: 55 min
Yield: Serves 8
Ingredients: 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil; 1/2 cup honey; 2 eggs; 1 cup (approx. 2 bananas) ripe bananas, mashed; 1/4 cup milk; 1 tsp McKenzie's Bi-Carb Soda; 1 tsp vanilla extract; 1/2 tsp McKenzie's Australian Natural Sea Salt, fine grind; 1/2 tsp McKenzie's Ground Cinnamon; 1 3/4 cups McKenzie's Wholemeal Spelt Flour; 1/2 cup dates, diced; 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped; 1/4 cup McKenzie's Shaved Coconut (Dried)

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 170°C and grease a loaf tin. In a large bowl, beat the oil and honey together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then whisk in the mashed bananas and milk.

Step 2

Add the Bi-Carb Soda, vanilla, salt and cinnamon, and whisk to blend. Stir in the flour until just combined. Gently stir in the diced dates, walnuts and coconut.

Step 3

Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and sprinkle lightly with extra cinnamon.

Step 4

Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes before slicing.
