Banana Loaf

1. 1

   Grease and base line a 2lb loaf tin. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas5.

2. 2

   Place the dates and water in a saucepan and simmer gently until the dates are soft. Mash with a fork until the dates are pureed. Allow to cool slightly. Beat in the egg.

3. 3

   Mix together the flour and spice. Mash the bananas until nearly smooth but still retaining a little texture, then stir into the date mixture with the flour, spice and walnuts.

4. 4

   Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and level the surface. Bake for an hour, and cover with foil if the top is becoming too brown.
