BANANA DATE BREAD
A great banana bread that uses the least amount of oil I've seen compared to some other banana bread recipes. Tastes great all by itself or add a little butter or cream cheese to make it even better. Leave the dates and/or nuts out if that's not your thing.

Bake for 40-50 mins until firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean (a round tin may take 10-20 mins more). Cool in the tin for 15 mins, then turn out and cool on a wire rack.

Remove from the heat and stir in the walnuts. Leave to cool until thickened and opaque. Spoon over the top of the cake and leave to set.
