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.

- Use ripe bananas: Ripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the bread. If your bananas are not ripe enough, microwave them for a few seconds to soften them.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This allows the bread to set properly and prevents it from crumbling when sliced.
- Store the bread properly: Store the banana date bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
