Marbled Banana Date Loaf

I saw this recipe yesterday, I’m sorry I can’t tag who it was by as I don’t follow them but I did screenshot the recipe.
If you recognise it - thank you 🙏🏻

Here is the recipe - I actually adapted it to make it Gluten Free replacing the sr flour by using half ground almonds and half chestnut flour by - the result was a very moist and fairly dense loaf and perfect for brekkie or any time - I digress, here is the original version.

Ingredients 🥚🍫🥣 🍌 all

10 dates soaked and mashed in 60ml hot milk.
3 ripe Bananas
120g Greek Yoghurt
80ml Maple Syrup
3 eggs
120g butter - melted and cooled
1tsp vanilla essence
250g SR Flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tbs cocoa powder

Method
Mash bananas and add them to the mashed dates

Add the yoghurt, maple syrup, eggs and butter and mix, then add the dry dry ingredients except the cocoa powder

Pour 2/3 of the mix into a lined 900ml loaf tin

Add the cocoa powder to the remaining mixture and stir well. Then add to the loaf tin and swirl to marble.

Bake 150 C for approx 30 minutes.

Because I omitted the SR Flour mine did take longer to bake as it had only the nut flours to absorb.

I haven’t made challah for ages and forgot the elbow grease needed to knead. Then I thought I’d used the wrong flour and started again. But… the ‘wrong’ flour went bonkers and bloomed and proved so well I kept it along with the second batch. One batch made with strong bread flour and the other with plain flour. Both were a success.

Some were plain and the others filled with cinnamon apples and toasted pecans.
