Preheat oven to 375 F (190 °C) and grease a 5in by 9in (12 by 23cm) pan with butter.
Step 2: Beat the bananas in a stand mixer and add the sugar, oil, and eggs. Beat vigorously for 1 minute. Then add the date puree and set aside.
Step 3:
In another large bowl, mix the flours, baking powder, baking soda, ground flaxseed, and kasha.
Then incorporate the dry ingredients into the banana and fig mixture, and mix well until a homogeneous batter is obtained.
Pour into the well-greased pan and tap it three times on the table to remove any air bubbles from the mixture.
Bake in the center of the oven for 55 to 65 minutes.
Once baked, let it cool on a rack for 15 to 20 minutes and unmold once cooled. You can also freeze the cake in portions for your future last-minute bike rides.
