Ingredients | Cute Banana Bread Clipart

1 tablespoon white sugar (Optional)

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (Optional)

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 ½ cups quick cooking oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking soda

1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon (Optional)

½ teaspoon salt

2 cups dark brown sugar, packed

¾ cup butter (Optional)

1 (16 ounce) container sour cream

6 very ripe bananas, mashed

3 eggs

2 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups chopped dates

1 cup chopped walnuts

½ cup toasted flake coconut (Optional)

¼ cup dark brown sugar, divided

2 tablespoons chopped dates, divided

2 tablespoons chopped walnuts, divided

2 tablespoons toasted flake coconut, divided (Optional)

1 tablespoon butter, melted (Optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease 4 loaf pans, 7x3-inch size. Combine 1 tablespoon white sugar with 2 teaspoons cinnamon in a small bowl. Dust the insides of the greased loaf pans with the cinnamon sugar.

Stir whole wheat flour, oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Beat 2 cups brown sugar with 3/4 cup butter in a separate mixing bowl until creamy. Beat in sour cream, bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir the dry ingredients into the banana mixture and fold in 2 cups dates, 1 cup walnuts, and 1/2 cup toasted coconut.

Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle tops of each loaf with about 1 tablespoon of dark brown sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons each of dates, walnuts, and coconut. Brush each loaf with melted butter for a shiny glaze.

Bake loaves in the preheated oven until browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Original recipe calls for 3 cups sugar. Batter can get quite thick to stir, so a large bowl and strong arm are a must! Get creative with ingredients - I like this precisely because you have the option of making it very hearty. The topping is the best part! I didn't like the addition of chocolate chips, but everyone else did. Don't use completely dried dates - the charm is in the sticky, sweet kind. Optional: replace 1/2 cup of flour with flaxseed meal.
