Grain-free banana bread that's also paleo, vegan, gluten-free, egg-free, cane sugar-free, and with a nut-free option. Loaded with gooey dates, toasted walnuts, and cinnamon, this healthy banana loaf gets a baklava vibe.
I have a bit of a pet peeve: the other day I came across a gluten-free banana bread recipe that called for "2 bananas." I thought, "how is this recipe supposed to work?" Bananas can vary greatly in size. Two small bananas, mashed, can equal 3/4 cup of puree, while larger bananas could make twice that amount.
In gluten-free and grain-free baking especially, accurate measuring is important since GF flours are less forgiving than all-purpose. The moral of the story is this: mash, then measure your bananas. Or better yet, bust out your food scale and weigh your bananas and other ingredients for the most accurate result.
<End rant.>
Now onto banana bread!
