- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ⅔ cup skim milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup honey
- 5 dates, pitted and chopped
- 4 big spoonfuls peach jam (try to find a low sugar variety)
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare 12 muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, stir together mashed bananas, extra-virgin olive oil, milk, vanilla, maple syrup, and honey.
- Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture until well-combined. Stir in the chopped dates.
