Date and Walnut Loaf - Dairy Free & Fat Free image

This is a very tasty, moist, sin free loaf. When sliced it's also great toasted, spread with low fat cream cheese. You can also include mixed nuts & carob buttons to the walnuts as a variation. You can also substitute the maple syrup for golden syrup. The loaf also freezes well.

I'm not a big fan of dates, but I actually really enjoyed this loaf. The walnuts and spices balance out the sweetness of the dates perfectly.

Overall, I thought this loaf was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I found this loaf to be a bit dry. I think it would have been better if I had added some more liquid, such as milk or yogurt.

This loaf is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred it if there were less dates.
