Date, Walnut, Nutmeg, and Cinnamon Banana Bread

Gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and delicious, this tastes just as good as the white flour and white sugar version but without the nasties.

This is perfect for an easy picnic snack or even afternoon tea. If dates and walnuts are not for you simply add the fruit and nut of your choosing instead!

Tip: You can also add 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips to this recipe to kick it up a notch.
