Description
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
-
Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Fold in chopped dates.
-
Combine bananas, coconut oil, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Add Demerara sugar and mash together with a fork. Add flour mixture and quickly mix together with a spatula until batter comes together. Add a few teaspoons of water if the batter seems too dry. Mix well and transfer to the prepared loaf pan.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until the top has a nice golden color and a skewer into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool, about 30 minutes.
-
Mix confectioners' sugar with water until the glaze has the desired consistency and drizzle over banana bread.
