Its been so long since I baked anything. Sometimes its due to frequent power outage and other times I feel lazy to bake. Its summer here and it is so so warm. I am cooking just one pot meal everyday. I do not want to spend too much time in the kitchen.
Yesterday I came across this post in one of the FB groups. It was about Banana and dates loaf with whole wheat and oats. Perfect looking loaf with awesome texture. I couldn't wait to try. I followed her recipe from her blog to make this loaf. Original recipe had ingredients measured in grams. Since I do not have a weighing scale , I converted into US cup measurement.
Good thing about her recipe is that she used whole wheat flour and oats along with All purpose flour making it healthier. My kids loved it. Its is packed with flavour and tastes delicious. It has melt in mouth texture :)
