Date Nut Bread a Tender, Hearty, Low Fat Classic

WEBJun 19, 2020 · This old fashioned, low fat Date Nut Bread gets hearty taste and excellent texture from moist, chewy dates and crunchy walnuts.

1. Preheat oven to 350 and prepare pan of choice - either a 12 cup regular muffin pan, a 1 lb. loaf pan or an 8-well mini loaf pan. Either grease and flour your pan or use a high-quality cooking spray like Vegelene.
2. Chop dates and place them in a medium heatproof bowl. Sprinkle baking soda over dates and pour boiling water over all. Stir and set aside to cool.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder.
4. In a large mixing bowl, melt butter. Add sugars to melted butter and stir with a spatula or a Danish dough whisk. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Add half the cooled water and date mixture and stir gently to combine. Add half the flour and stir gently to combine. Repeat with remaining water/date mixture and flour mixture. Gently fold in nuts.
