Date Nut Bread
Report
Date nut bread is a deliciously easy, old-fashioned quick bread that tastes like a loaf of moist sticky toffee pudding cake!

Ingredients
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup finely chopped dates
- ½ cup salted butter softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar lightly packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour properly measured
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Chopped Pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9X5-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
- Add the chopped dates to a medium, heatproof bowl, and pour the boiling water over the chopped dates.
- Let the date mixture stand for 15 minutes. Do not drain.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Beat in the eggs.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon and mix in until almost combined.
- Stir in the dates and liquid, and mix in until just combined.
- Add the chopped pecans, and mix in until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
- Remove to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Dates: I've used pitted Medjool dates and Deglet Noor dates to make this bread. I prefer Medjool dates because they are sweeter and integrate better into the bread.
- Salted butter: If you would prefer to use unsalted butter, add 1/4 salt along with the baking soda.
- Brown sugar: Light or dark brown sugar will work. Dark brown sugar will give you slightly more toffee flavor in the bread.
- Cinnamon: The cinnamon is a background note in the bread. This isn't a spice forward bread.
