Original Recipe Yield 1 - 8x4 inch loaf
 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup flax seed
  • 3 bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup flax seed
  • 1/2 cup chopped pitted dates
