Delicious Date and Walnut Loaf Recipe for Your Table

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan.

    Use parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix dry ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

    Sift the dry ingredients for a lighter loaf.
  3. Combine wet ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together brown sugar, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until well blended.

    Make sure the eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
  4. Combine mixtures

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

    Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Fold in dates and walnuts

    Gently fold in the chopped dates and walnuts until evenly distributed.

    Coat the nuts and dates with a bit of flour to prevent sinking.
  6. Bake the loaf

    Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Check at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  7. Cool and serve

    Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
