Banana Walnut Date Loaf
This deliciously dense date loaf has been shared with us by Nikalene Riddle from Skinnymixers. It's great to make ahead of time, slice and pack into your lunch as a sweet treat made with good ingredients.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "Once you mill the almonds, this is a chuck-everything-in-the-bowl loaf that is super quick and easy to make. It also is super filling and would be great for breakfast or for morning tea." - Monika
