A comforting and delicious Date Walnut Bread filled with Medjool dates and walnuts for a sweet, nutty flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pitted Medjool dates, chopped
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup walnut halves, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Soak the Dates: Place chopped Medjool dates in a heatproof bowl, add baking soda, and pour boiling water over them. Soak for 15 minutes until completely softened.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on both long sides for easy release.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: Add melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the soaked date mixture. Whisk until fully combined, blending in that luxurious richness.
  4. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Add Walnuts: Gently fold in chopped walnuts, reserving a small handful to scatter across the top of the loaf before baking.
  7. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and top with reserved walnuts for an appealing finish, and bake for 55-65 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Slice: Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool for at least 30 more minutes before slicing.

Notes

Ensure your Medjool dates are soft and fresh for best sweetness. Avoid over-mixing the batter.
