Recently, Mr P of Delicious, Delicious, Delicious posted a recipe for Banana, Date, Apricot and Walnut Tea Bread. It looked incredibly good, and as I had some bananas in the freezer (bananas are way too expensive to buy here at the moment because of the cyclones destroying the crops), I knew I wanted to make it.
Instead of walnuts, I used pecans, but otherwise made the tea bread as Mr P directed. I recommend using the egg - the batter is very thick, and the egg helps to add some moisture.
The resulting tea bread can be eaten in slices without anything on it, but my favourite way to eat it was slathered with butter/margarine/Nuttelex:

Yum! I bet that would be a hit at our house!
that slice with butter looks so good - reminds me of the cakes my mum used to bake
That sounds fantastic--I seem to always make the same banana bread (my mother's), so I think I need to try a new one. I just won't tell her.
:)
Ooh, looks delicious. I bet it's a nice treat in the afternoons! Can't wait to try it, especially with the dates.
Mmm that looks great and I'm glad you added the note about slathering it with butter/Nuttelex (I love Nuttelex!)
I just remembered I have two ripe bananas in the deep freezer. The cake looks delicious and now I will have to look for dates.
This looks SO good, esp. the last photo! How much are bananas, then?
I really enjoy making sweet bread and this one looks delicious!
What an interesting choice of flavours! I totally agree that pecans should be swapped with the walnuts. I have some bananas that need to be used up in a cake and this sounds like the perfect recipe for them!
looks great! thanks for sharing :O)
Wow, that sounds like a delicious combination of flavors!
