I know everyone seemed to be making Banana Bread last year. I did a lot of baking at the start of the lockdowns but we didn't make banana bread. We made cakes and cookies and crusty breads and we usually eat out bananas before they go brown. But I missed these three and I didn't want to waste them.
Yesterday we did our supermarket challenge in Aldi again and I bought some dates there, I use dates a lot in cooking and baking and I wanted to try the Aldi dates.
I couldn't find a recipe on their website that was okay for vegans so I decided to take one and veganize it and also replace the sugar with dates. Easy!
