Date Loaf image

This recipe is from the Edmonds Cook Book. My kids love this, especially as an after school snack with a glass of milk. It has a lovely rich caramel flavour. I make mine without the walnuts and it's still great. Prep time includes 1 hour for soaking dates in boiling water.

This loaf is a great way to use up leftover dates. I always have a few dates left over from other recipes and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my loaf turned out really dry. I think I might have overbaked it.

This loaf is the perfect make-ahead dessert. I often make it the night before and then just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve it.

I love the fact that this loaf is made with whole wheat flour. It makes it a healthier option than many other date loaf recipes.

This loaf was a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra butter or oil next time.

I substituted maple syrup for the white sugar and it turned out great! The loaf was still plenty sweet and had a lovely maple flavor.
