Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add chopped dates, baking soda, brown sugar, and hot water to a bowl or large measuring cup. Set aside and allow the dates to steep for about 15 minutes or until cooled.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9x5 loaf pan with cooking spray
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • After soaking the dates, whisk in the egg, yogurt, and vanilla extract, separating any date pieces that may have stuck together.
  • Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until everything is just combined with no streaks of flour remaining. Finally, gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
  • Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the bread is browning too quickly, tent it with foil during the last 10 minutes or so.
  • Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, remove the bread from the pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • If you don't plan to eat the date bread immediately after cooling, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it at room temperature.
