♥ See why this walnut date loaf is so healthy and oh so delicious!

Dates are rich in fiber and iron and walnuts are rich in omega-3 fats and powerful antioxidants. This loaf can be made with or without butter, if you are following a dairy-free diet you can use coconut oil. I have used one egg, but you can use a gluten-free egg replacer or a flax egg. The recipe can be easily converted to a vegan walnut date loaf. The flour that I used is sweet sorghum. I LOVE ♥ this flour in gluten-free baking. One of the reasons is, it adds a nutty flavour. But more importantly, sweet sorghum is a nutrient-packed grain rich in vitamins and minerals like B vitamins, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, and zinc. It’s likewise an excellent source of fiber, antioxidants, and protein. This healthy grain does exceptionally well in gluten-free baking. You may be surprised that I used coffee? Coffee is always added to classic walnut date loaves, it’s what gives it that rich delicious flavour. Lastly, I used raw turbinado sugar, sometimes I use slightly healthier coconut sugar. But sugar is sugar, unfortunately, as long as you don’t use refined sugar…not so good! I have also added extra vanilla, it truly makes it! Love baking?
