6 steps
- 1
Preheat oven to 180°C/355 Fahrenheit.
- 2
Place dates and water in a small pot and boil for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to mash up the dates. Add baking soda and mix well – it will froth up a bit.
- 3
Beat butter with sugar and vanilla until thick, light and creamy, then beat in egg.
- 4
Mix in mashed banana, carrot, nuts and dates.
- 5
Stir flour, bran, baking powder and mixed spice together. Add to wet mixture and fold the two mixtures together (with a large metal spoon) until well combined. Do not over-mix.
- 6
Spoon batter into a greased loaf tin and roughly smooth out the top. Bake for 45 minutes or until loaf springs back when lightly touched. Leave in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out.
