Healthy Spiced Banana Bread

Soak the dates in a bowl of water for 5-10 minutes. Preheat oven to 180 C.

Grind the oats using a blender, food processor or similar until it reaches a flour-like consistency. In a large bowl mix the oats with ground almonds, baking powder, cardemom, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.

Drain the dates and mash them together with the bananas using the back of a fork. Mix the mashed dates and bananas with the milk before adding them to the dry ingredients. Thoroughly mix to combine.

Grease a standard size bread tin and pour the batter into it. Spread it out evenly and bake for 40-45 minutes. When done, the Spiced Banana Bread will feel slightly firm and a toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the middle. Allow to cool down before serving.

Store in an airtight container.

Note: If you do not have ground almonds, simply use a blender, food processor or similar to grind whole almonds. The consistency should be very similar to regular flour. Measure after grinding.
