how to cook Best Gluten Free Date Banana Loaf?

STEP 1

Get ready for a delicious treat! Start by preheating your oven to 180⁰C (350⁰F). Finely chop the dried apricots to add a burst of flavor to this amazing recipe.

TIPS: You can substitute dried apricots with any other dried fruit you prefer. Dried cherries, cranberries, or a mix of dried fruits can all be excellent alternatives.

STEP 2

In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.

TIPS: If you don’t have ready-made cornmeal, no worries! You can easily make your own by grinding corn grits in a coffee grinder.

TIPS: To enhance the flavor of the loaf, consider adding a touch of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg to the dough. These warm spices will complement the sweetness of the dates, apricots, and raisins and add a depth of flavor to the loaf.

STEP 3

Add coarsely chopped peanuts and raisins to the mixture.

TIPS: Raisins should be prepared first. Before adding raisins to the dough, be sure to rinse with water and then blot with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

STEP 4

Mix in the chopped dried apricots for a delightful twist.

STEP 5

Next, place pitted dates in a saucepan, pour in 2/5 cup (100 g) of hot water.

STEP 6

Bring to a boil, cook for 5 minutes over medium heat.

STEP 7

Drain the liquid from the dates.

STEP 8

Collect 1/5 cup (50 g) of the date liquid in one bowl, remove dates in another bowl.

STEP 9

Puree the dates and bananas together for a smooth texture.

TIPS: Make sure to use ripe bananas when making this loaf. Ripe bananas have a sweeter flavor and are easier to mash, which will enhance the overall taste and texture of the loaf. Additionally, ripe bananas will help to keep the loaf moist and prevent it from becoming dry or crumbly.

TIPS: Let’s talk about making date and banana puree without an immersion blender. Don’t fret, you have options! You can use a kitchen chopper or even a regular fork to achieve the desired consistency.

STEP 10

Gradually add the flour mixture and collected date liquid to the banana mixture, along with liquid honey for sweetness.

TIPS: When melting honey, you can do it on the stove over low heat or in the microwave. Just make sure not to let it boil.

STEP 11

Whip up room temperature egg whites with salt until fluffy.

TIPS: Remember to take the eggs out of the refrigerator in advance so that the egg whites can reach room temperature. Cold egg whites don’t whip well.

STEP 12

Then gently fold the whipped egg whites into the date mixture.

STEP 13

Grease with butter and line with parchment a 17cm x 10 cm loaf tin. Pour the dough into the prepared loaf tin. Smooth the top with a spatula.

STEP 14

Top the dough with dried banana and walnuts, and sprinkle with brown sugar for a crunchy finish.

STEP 15

Pop the tin into a preheated to 180⁰C (350⁰F) oven and let the magic happen for an hour.

STEP 16

Once baked to perfection, remove from the oven.

TIPS: Once the loaf has finished baking, allow it to cool in the tin for at least 10-15 minutes before removing it. This will help to prevent the loaf from falling apart when transferring it to a cooling rack.

STEP 17

Let the cake completely cool on a wire rack before indulging in this scrumptious creation.

TIPS: Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing and serving to ensure that it holds its shape and maintains its moist texture.

STEP 18

Drizzle liquid honey over the cake for an extra touch of sweetness.

STEP 19
