If a sticky date pudding and a banana bread had a bake baby, this loaf would be it. It’s got all the dark, caramelly deliciousness of the sticky date pudding with that lovely moist dense texture of a first rate banana bread.
I tried my first banana bread and sticky date pudding when I first came to Australia and I’ve been loving on them ever since. My sticky date obsession knows no bounds, first there was the Sticky Date Cheesecake, then there were the Sticky Date Cookies and then there was the Sticky Date Slice. They’re all hands down deliciousness but this banana bread might be my best yet.
I have had to make this Sticky Date Banana Bread so many times because I couldn’t get the photos right. On the flip side, I got to taste test this loaf within an inch of it’s life but now of course, I’m properly addicted. One slice of this is never enough! I’ve eaten it for breakfast and lunch and even in between. Better still, this banana bread even turned David AKA He Who Will Not Eat Bananas. He loved the texture and the flavour because it’s mostly sticky date with just a subtle hint of banana. So everyone was happy (except me because then I had to share!)
If you want a new way to upcycle your brown bananas, you should definitely try this! Everyone will go bananas for it!
If you could only choose one, what would it be, banana bread or sticky date pudding"!
