The recipe required the use of eggs.I have experimented in the past to substitute eggs with soybean flour in a cake recipe and it came out well.So tried to use the soy flour instead of eggs in this recipe too.This bread was a real surprise and tasted yummy.I could not detect the difference for having skipped the eggs and using soy flour.A real winner !

Ingredients and method to make the banana date bread
2 cups self rising flour (or 2 cups plain flour and 1 tbsp of baking powder)
1 cup dates pitted and chopped
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup fine sugar
2 bananas roughly mashed
2 tbsp honey
2 eggs ( I used 3 tbsp of soy flour mixed in 3 tbsp of water in place of eggs )
3 tbsp milk (use only if using the soy flour mixture instead of eggs)
1.Preheat oven to 325 deg F.
2. Grease a 2 pound loaf pan and keep aside
3.Take a large mixing bowl,put in the flour (or the flour and the baking powder).
4.Rub in the butter into the flour with your fingertips till the mixture resembles bread crumbs.
5.Stir in the sugar,chopped dates,mashed bananas,honey and the beaten eggs ( or the soy flour mixed in water and the milk ).Mix together to form a soft dropping consistency.
6.Spoon the mixture into the loaf pan and level with the back of the knife.
7.Bake in preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8.Let the loaf cool in the pan before turning out and transferring to a wire rack.
9.Serve the loaf hot or cold,cut into slices.
Serves about 6.This bread tastes best fresh or within a couple of days of making if stored in a cool dry place in an airtight container.
