Free Healthy Recipe - Date and Walnut Loaf

Dairy free

This is a variation of a recipe I found on a site called Baking with Granny. I cuit down the amount of sugar in it given how sweet dates naturally are.

Ingredients

1 cup Medjool dates, pitted

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

85 grams soft butter, unsalted,

60 gram brown sugar, (I used coconut sugar )

½ cup boiling water

1 egg beaten

225 grams spelt flour

½ tsp baking powder

85 grams walnuts

Method

Pre heat the oven to 170 C

Add the dates, bicarb of soda, butter and sugar to a bowl. Pour over the boiling water. Mix to combine the butter with the other ingredients. Set aside to cool.
Line a loaf tin with baking paper.
Add the beaten egg and walnuts to the mixture
Sieve the flour into a separate bowl with the baking powder.
Fold the flour into the date and walnut mixture.
Transfer the mix to the loaf tin and place in the oven to bake for 1 and 15 minutes. Check your cake after 50 minutes and cover with a sheet of baking paper if it starts to burn on top.
