Method

Beat together bananas and butter until creamy. Add eggs, vanilla and water then beat. Add flour, baking soda and baking powder, mix well, then stir in dates. Spoon batter into a foiled and floured 9 x 13 inch baking pan and spread evenly. Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until inserted knife comes out clean. Cool on rack 8-10 minutes.
