This banana bread reminds me of the typical Swedish 'oven pancake' my mum used to make us as kids. Something very satisfying and moist about it ... Sweetened with dates and banana only, not too sweet, only 8 ingredients – easy as pie!
Note: If you want to make this banana bread gluten free, replace the spelt with the same amount of (gluten free) oats.

1.
In a blender, blend dry ingredients except chocolate to a flour. Don’t worry if there are still some nut or oat pieces. Transfer to a bowl.
-
2.
Without washing your blender out, blend banana, dates, olive oil and water.
-
3.
Fold the wet blend gently into the dry, without mixing too much. It’s fine if there are still some lumps of flour. The consistency should be like loose porridge.
-
4.
Pour into your mould or tin.
-
5.
Scatter with the chopped chocolate (if using), and use another banana to decorate if desired.
-
6.
Bake at 180ºC for 30-35 minutes – it's better slightly under-baked than over-baked.
-
7.
Let cool upside down in mould to keep the moisture in.

8.
Tip: If you soak the dates to soften them, you can use warm or hot water for speedy soaking – then use the soaking water as part of the 100 ml water as it'll taste sweet!
