Ingredients:

Banana Bread:

• 4 ripe bananas
• 200g whole grain oat flour
• 4 – 5 tbsp (~ 50g) runny honey or agave syrup
• 30ml soy or other plant based milk
• 25g coconut oil (melted)
• 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp baking powder

Topping:

• 100g juicy dates
• 1 tbsp peanut butter (I used my favorite from https://aguz.lv/)
• 4 tbsp oat milk or other plant-based milk
• 100g roasted unsalted peanuts* (see notes)
• 100g vegan dark chocolate

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, line a rectangle baking tray or loaf tin with baking paper, or grease it with coconut oil and set it aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients – mashed bananas (using work mash them into a puree), milk, melted coconut oil, and honey (or agave syrup). Mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients – oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.
4. Slowly combine both mixtures together. Be careful not to overmix if you want to get Banana Bread fluffy and soft.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin.
6. Bake for 40 – 45 minutes.
7. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Take a hand blender, standard blender or food processor, add dates, peanut butter, and milk. Blend until you get a sticky mixture. Spread it over the bread.
9. Sprinkle the date caramel layer with peanuts.
10. Melt the chocolate at a very low temperature and pour it over caramel-peanut layer.
11. Leave the bread for a while for the chocolate to thick.
12. Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or store in the fridge for 5 days (note that it will reduce the softness of the bread).

Notes:

*You can buy raw peanuts, and roast it by yourself in the oven 170°C for a couple of minutes or on frying pan until golden brown. You can use salted peanuts as well.
