Banana Date Loaf

This banana bread is a perfect lunchbox hit. I tend to make a huge batch of it then pour them into a little finger cake tray or a cupcake tray would work. Once they have cooled I then place them in zip-lock bags then into the freeze then on Sunday I will pull out a bunch to last the whole week. Lunch times made a whole lot easy not to mention that they are gluten and dairy free!
