I baked this yesterday and it was fantastic. Sugar free, oil free....it was my dream come true of a cake. I didn't have Quinoa flakes, so I sub with oats. Definitely a keeper. Thanks lots for sharing ❤
I've recently discovered your channel and really love it. I'm not a vegetarian or a vegan but health is a concern of mine. I try to listen to my body and to feed it with the least refined, processed and preserved food. I go Paleo if I want an immune boosting action, I go vegetarian or vegan for a few days if I need a detox, I try keto if I feel bloated. I really love your recipes, especially your version of Bounties, that are an old sweet treat of mine ahahahah. Thank you for sharing these wise advices and tips to maintain a beautiful mindset and care always not only about waistline, but also about brain, immunity, skin problems and hormone balancing. ♥
Thank you so so soo much for making wonderful videos! Your instructions are always very clear, easy to follow and understand. You are very articulate. Thanks again! ❤
i like you guys! it's hard not to smile when it gets to the taste test segment haha. great video and recipe. thanks, it's always good therapy watching you create.
I think mixing it with baking soda and baking powder and then adding a little bit of vinegar will make it the texture less dense and soft. I'll give it a try and let you know.
I've been sticking to a strict plant based, no night shades, or nuts (for now) alkaline meal prep. This video arrived right on time Petra to satisfy my sweet tooth without compromising my diet. Thank you 😊
Yay! So happy to hear that. Hope you enjoy the recipe, Nadia. I am wondering - wasn't your RUclips name at one point Nadine? Maybe I am completely wrong, but every time I see your name pop up, I always think of it. So, I had to ask :)
I had to laugh when I read this comment. You should see the other half of my kitchen when I'm done filming. It generally takes me 1 hour to clean up all the mess ;) I am definitely a clean freak though.
I love quinoa, but the flakes have a strong "acid" or bitter taste. So I'm not particularly fond of the flakes. My fave grain next to quinoa is TEFF. Do more recipes with it, whole tiny grains or flour. Love to see what you do with TEFF. It's soooooo good !!
Thank you for the tip, Eugenia! I find that if I toast the quinoa, it loses much of its bitter aftertaste. I actually made the banana bread just yesterday with toasted quinoa flakes and even Tanner agreed that it's better (although not as good as oats, in Tanner's opinion :)
Nice music. I feel relaxed when watching your videos. Do dates raise blood sugar? I will try this recipe. I trust your recipes are the healthiest ones because you know things correctly. Do you use stevia or monk fruit sweeteners? I see you sometimes use maple syrup. Thank you.
Thank you! Medjool dates are a fresh fruit, so they do raise blood sugar. I use all kinds of sweeteners, mainly maple syrup, coconut sugar, stevia, and monk fruit.
I have tried a lot of cake recipes using oat flour and have found the resulting texture somewhat "gummy". HOWEVER, Petra I have made so many of your recipes and they are always fabulous, that I am going to give this a try. Having looked at the recipe and seen the photo of the texture I reckon the trick of using the dates is likely to mitigate the gumminess of the oat flour. One of the things that has eluded me in this gluten free vegan baking adventure is cake that I really like the texture of. Fingers crossed for this one!
Thank you for such a kind comment! Working with oat flour can be tricky for sure. It's very easy to over-stir which makes it dense or gummy (or both!). If you look at the banana recipe, you will see that I don't use a food processor for it (I do for the muffin tops). The reason is exactly what you mention - if you over-process the mixture, it can turn gummy. Blend the bananas and dates, but then just stir in the dry ingredients. That should do the trick!
OK so I made this cake this morning and the results were spectacular! Best gluten free cake I've ever baked. You'll laugh when you hear the near disaster that almost befell me. I had put the cake in the oven and it was about 4 minutes later when I saw the flax eggs sitting on the bench. Panicked, I opened the oven, the cake was rising, but had not yet started to dry out. I quickly pulled it from the oven (didn't think it would be hot yet so no oven mitts and yes my palms got a little hot but not quite burned, yikes), threw the batter back in the bowl, added the flax eggs and an extra tsp of baking powder (because I was worried that the full activity of the rising agents had already been spent). I very gently folded both added ingredients through the batter and returned it to the oven. Cake turned out amazing, disaster averted!
I have a question about dates. I prefer the soft ones but recently a friend of mine said that the real dates are hard in texture. In order to make it soft they have been soaked in sugar syrup or in honey 😔. Is it true?
Hi Ami - it actually depends on the type of dates you're using. I use Medjool dates, which are actually a fresh fruit (that's why they are so soft). If you use dates from a baking aisle, they are most likely dried (and hard). Some dates are indeed soaked in honey, but again, if you buy Medjool dates, they are fresh dates (no sugar added).
If they have a shiny coating the have been coated with sugar syrup (just a bit not they a bathed in sugar).. if they are not shiney but dull they haven't got a coating, these are the ones I find in a middle eastern store..they are just different kind of date. But just as good for you.. I don't know if this applies to your country.. I saw a documentary about the phenomenal..
A high-speed blender would work too. If you don't have either, you could purchase date syrup (pureed dates) and quinoa/oat flour, and thus eliminate the need for any appliance.
Your husband complaints about everything. I understand he's your husband and you want a person to give their opinion.. but he's very negative. Thank you for the recipe.. their all awesome 👍
He's not negative, he just has a different palate than she does. It's a matter of taste. I think it's quite nice that she lets us hear his honest, authentic opinion. You can see so many videos of people exaggerating their enthusiasm for their recipes, which I personally find much more annoying.

It's perfect! Thanks for the recepie, I will try it this weekend!
Hope it turns out great! ❤️
Can you substitute maple syrup or honey for the dates?
I dont have quinoa flakes. I wonder if I can use regular quinoa that l blend in my Vitamix prior...
I think mixing it with baking soda and baking powder and then adding a little bit of vinegar will make it the texture less dense and soft. I'll give it a try and let you know.
I am very inspired by your videos and would like to try them for the first time. can we add wheat flour instead of Quinoa??
Baking powder is usually made with corn as the first ingredient. What baking powder do you use? Thanks!

who else love banana bread? thank you for this video your kitchen is so tidy crazy

@@eugeniamartin712 Yes, give it a go! :)
Yay to the super grain TEFFFF
I made this for my mother in law
I agree with the boy. =)) Me, personally, I don't like the taste of quinoa in any dish. But I eat it, just once in a while, because it's healthy.

I LOVE that you remove ALL the batter from the bowl. I'm the very same way otherwise, that goodness goes to waste. ❤
Haha, always :)
I was just looking for a recipe exactly like this
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it, Mary.
Yummyy!! great vid
Thank you so much!❤️
can you please make a video on how to make gluten free quinoa bread .. ❤
Definitely on my to-film list!

You're very welcome :)
I love it, I will do it soon 🥰
Thank you! Hope you enjoy it :)
We bake bread for how long and how many degree in oven? Thanks.
Here is a link to the recipe with all the instructions: nutritionrefined.com/banana-date-bread/ (350°F/175°C for 50-60 minutes).
Come on Tanner! Thanks for the recipe, I will try it. I love quinoa. 😏
Thanks Tanner for your suggestion, my spouse is not a fan of quinoa either.
What could I sub for rolled oats? I’m allergic to oats and I don’t have quinoa flakes ☹️
What other grains or pseudograins are you ok with?
Agree about the overwhelming taste of quinoa 😀
Thank you for the feedback, Johanna :)
Paleo with oatmeal ?
I’m very confused, I don’t see you put in some of the ingredients in the video that are in the recipe on your website, is there a reason for that?

YES! Please, let me know how it goes :)
😍😍😍

Eye will try this one with a bit more baking soda.....thank you.
The problem, I don't have a food procesor

@@NutritionRefined Thankyou for replying!! Blessings!!
i just ate a whole banana bread 🤰
Your husband complaints about everything. I understand he's your husband and you want a person to give their opinion.. but he's very negative. Thank you for the recipe.. their all awesome 👍
Is this the first video you have watched?
🙄. 🤔
I have heard him compliment sooo many of her recipes. He seems really nice and supportive to me.
He compliments her food most of the time. This is the first time that he does not compliment her food.
He's not negative, he just has a different palate than she does. It's a matter of taste. I think it's quite nice that she lets us hear his honest, authentic opinion. You can see so many videos of people exaggerating their enthusiasm for their recipes, which I personally find much more annoying.
i've seen many of her vids, and i totally disagree. he's not negative at all, just gives honest feedback.
