BANANA AND DATE LOAF

Serves 10
9sp per serve if using caster sugar
6sp per serve if using stevia

INGREDIENTS
270g self raising flour (27sp)
30g LSA mix (5sp)
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (0sp)
1 tsp nutmeg (0sp)
110g (1 cup) caster sugar (26sp) or 1 cup of stevia powder (0sp)
125g pitted dates, chopped (21sp)
2 large ripe bananas mashed (about 1 cup) (0sp)
2 eggs (4sp)
1 cup skim milk (3sp)

METHOD
Preheat oven to 180C.  Line a loaf tin with baking paper. (Hint: I wet the inside of my tin with a little water for the baking paper to adhere to, much cleaner than using oil or butter).
In a large bowl add flour, LSA mix, nutmeg, bicarbonate of soda and caster sugar.  Stir through dates.
In another bowl combine bananas, eggs and milk.
Add banana mixture to date mixture and fold through until combined. 
Pour into the pan and bake in oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until a inserted skewer comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes and then invert onto rack to cool.

Note: You can omit the LSA, just add an extra 30g of flour.
