Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease and line a 1L loaf tin.

Date puree

2. Soak the pitted medjool dates in hot water for 10 minutes until softened. 
3. Once softened, drain the water, then blend into a smooth date purée and set aside.

Cake

4. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, self-raising flour, baking powder, coconut sugar, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, melted coconut oil, date purée, and egg until well combined.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until a thick, evenly combined batter forms. Fold through the chopped macadamias, reserving a small handful for the top.
6. Transfer the batter to the prepared tin and sprinkle over the remaining macadamias. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until risen, golden, and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
7. Allow the loaf to cool in the tin before removing, slicing, and serving.
