I'm not really a fan of date nut bread, but this recipe changed my mind. It's the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds. The bread still turned out great!

The bread didn't rise very much. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This bread is a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
