Date and Walnut Loaf Bread
1 cup whole wheat baking flour
¾
tsp non-aluminum baking soda
1 tsp mixed spices (such as cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg)
1 cup chopped dates
1 cup walnut pieces
2 Tb safflower oil
1 Tb vanilla flavor
1 Tb maple syrup
2 Tb apple juice
Sift together flour, spices and baking soda. Stir in dates and walnuts. In a separate bowl, mix together oil,
maple syrup, vanilla flavor and apple juice. Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well. If the
mixture is too stiff, add in 1 teaspoon of apple juice at a time. Pour mixture into oiled loaf pan (7½ x 3½
inches or two mini loaf pans). Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until done. (Bread does not rise very
high.)
