Dairy Free Chunky Date and Walnut Mini Loaves

Scrumptiously tasty, with only 5 ingredients required and no scales needed; making healthy mini loaves has never been easier!

There're high in fibre, dairy free, egg free, fat free and have no added sugar. All the sweetness comes from the dates.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup dried dates, halved
1 cup boiling water
1 cup wholemeal self-raising flour
1 cup self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ cup roughly chopped walnuts, plus a few for decoration or you can use pecans as I did.

METHOD

Put the dates in a medium mixing bowl with the boiling water and leave to soak until the water has cooled

While the dates are soaking preheat your oven to 200ºc / 180º fan and line /grease your mini or muffin tray

Now your dates have cooled, mix in the rest if the ingredients, flours, baking powder and chopped walnuts if your using until everything is well combined. If you find your mixture is a little dry just add a small amount of cold water.

Transfer your mixture evenly into your prepared mini loaf or muffin tray. Top with a walnut or pecan if you are using.

Place in the oven on the middle shelf and bake for approx 30-35 minutes or until baked.

Once baked leave in the tray for 5 minutes to cool, then carefully place your mini loaves on a wire rack to cool completely.
