Add the banana, the dates, an egg, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and baking soda to the pumpkin and puree the whole thing with a hand mixer. Add the flour and mix. Put the batter into a baking sheet or pan, and even it out. For the topping, mix the oat flakes and the butter and crumble it on top of the batter. Bake it in the oven for about 45 minutes at 180°C.

‘Half a packet of baking powder’???? International readers cannot relate to that, since elsewhere baking powder is usually sold in small tubs not little packets. Then again, Western countries have self raising flour in supermarkets so baking powder is usually not needed. I have always found it very strange that self raising flour is not sold here in Hungary. That said, the supermarkets are dreadful so perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise.
I guess I’d go with the peach.
When it comes to Hungarian supermarkets, all I’ve always complained about is the labeling on breads. I have never seen that anywhere else in the world, but since Hungarians seem to be fine with it, who am I to complain!
