I have not tried this recipe personally but I have tried other “eat clean” ones from Tosca. Usually they are pretty darn good. Let me know if you try this one…

Eat Clean with Banana Date Breakfast Bread | fitbottomedgirls.com.

Below is the recipe for Tosca’s Banana Date Breakfast Bread. It’s so hearty and filling and banana-bready. It’s just delicious. And it’s the perfect breakfast or dessert in my opinion. I love that it includes dates and apple butter (I’ve seen applesauce in recipes, but never apple butter! And I looove apple butter.) And I even tried replacing the ground flaxseed with Salba (I had leftovers from the review), which turned into more deliciousness. And get this: Each serving (1/12 of the loaf) is only 210 cals with 6 grams of protein, 4 grams of healthy fats, 7 grams of fiber (!) and no cholesterol. Try it!

1 c. pitted dates, coarsely chopped
1/4 c. whole flaxseeds for top of loaf

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Prepare a loaf pan by spraying with cooking spray.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine banana, Sucanat, vanilla and apple butter. Add eggs. Beat together well.
