I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Butter or line a large loaf pan (about 23 x 13 x 16 cm). Set aside.
Put flour, bicarb soda, cinnamon and salt into TM bowl and sift for 5 seconds on speed 5. Add dates, chop for 10 seconds on speed 7. Add almonds and chop for 10 seconds on speed 5. Remove flour mixture to separate mixing bowl. I have two TM bowls so I left mixture in here and used other for next stage.
Put sugar in bowl and mill for 3 seconds on speed 10. Add eggs and oil, and mix for 40 seconds on speed 6 until light and creamy. Slice banana into bowl and add vanilla and mash for 3 seconds on speed 6.
Pour the batter mixture into the flour mixture and put on reverse speed 5 for 40 seconds or until completely combined.
Bake for about 1 hour in a moderate oven or until the top is springy and a fine skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool the loaf in the tin on a wire rack for 10 minutes, before turning our onto the rack to cool.
It keeps well in the fridge for about 5 days, and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
Tip
It freezes very well, and may be sliced, and placed between freezer sheets and frozen for later.
If you want to be able to send this loaf to school in the lunchbox, either remove the nuts and/or replace them with pepitas or sunflower seeds. My kids are happier without them.

Beautiful...made with GF flour...moist, totally delicious...
Lovely. I substitute a mixture of pepitas, sunflower & linseeds for the nuts to make it school-friendly. I also used wholemeal flour (didn't bother with the sifting step, just went straight onto adding the dates), grape seed oil instead of olive and reduced the sugar to 100g, using half raw & half brown sugar. Delicious! 2 of my kids are OK with the crunchy pieces of seeds, but one prefers that I add the seeds with the dates & crush them up a bit more.

Made this cake several time fantastic each time
I added 60g of shredded coconut and 150g of walnuts during step 4 and also covered the top in the same shredded coconut just before putting the tin in the oven.
Absolutely delicious cake!!!!! Making another for a friend now!!!
Absolutely Delicious! Everyone asked for the recipe. I used a medium sized loaf tin and also made some muffins with the extra mixture which were so yummy! Unfortunately there is none left so I'll have to make another lot!
Fantastic!! Whole family loved it. Thankyou
So awesome! Really good recipe
3 X large overripe Bananas in the fruit bowl, what to do..... Found this recipe, quick and easy, swapped the almonds for walnuts, and made 12 Mini Loaves instead. One wasn't enough as a test when they came out of the oven
