Grainfree Date Nut Bread

I am so excited to share this grain-free Date-Nut Bread with you! I don’t consider myself a baker, so I was pretty thrilled when this recipe turned out as wonderfully as I imagined. It has a lovely texture with walnuts and chewy dates, and is so satisfying served with coffee or as a simple dessert.

Dates are high in fiber and minerals and are so versatile and delicious. I most definitely consider them a superfood.

I especially love the combination of nuts and dates, so that was the inspiration for this bread. I used a blend of almond and cassava flours to make it grain- and gluten-free, too. I highly suggest serving this with a cup of hot coffee or tea for a mid-afternoon snack or as a simple, healthy dessert.

Description

This delicious Date Nut Bread is made grain-free and paleo using a mix of cassava flour and almond flour. It’s a healthy version of your favorite dessert bread.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup cassava flour
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup pitted and chopped medjool dates (about 5 large dates)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 medium-sized ripe banana
  • 1/3 cup almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or ghee, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 1.5-quart glass or aluminum loaf pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside the loaf pan while you make the batter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cassava flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Use a whisk to stir together. Then, add the chopped dates and walnuts and use a spatula to stir together. Set the bowl aside
  3. Place the eggs, vanilla extract, banana, and almond milk in a small high-speed blender and process on high until combined, about 15 seconds.
  4. Pour the mixture from the blender into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the melted coconut oil or ghee and stir to combine.
  5. Pour the batter into the baking dish and place in the oven for one hour, or until the bread turns golden brown. Remove the bread carefully from the dish and place onto a cooling rack.
  6. Serve warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate any leftovers and serve within 5 days.

Questions related to this grain-free Date Nut Bread recipe.

Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour? I would not recommend that substitution, because coconut flour acts a lot different from almond flour and I have not tested that.

  2. I’ve never worked with cassava flour and need to try it. I love almond flour and coconut flour but should get out of my comfort zone I guess! This date bread looks awesome and I even have an unopened bag of organic coconut sugar & was wondering when I could use it. I just ate the last of my walnuts so need to restock those. Pinned this one and thanks!

    • Thanks, Deb!!! I really adore cassava flour. I find that grain-based flours (or most grains) have been giving me joint pain, so I’m trying to do the grain-free thing for awhile. Anyway, the cassava flour is very high in carbohydrates, but I don’t mind that either. The combination of almond and cassava flour seems to work really well for baking. Take care!

  12. Walnuts and dates have got to be one of my favourite fruit and nut combos on the planet. This looks stellar. I can almost feel the ooey-gooey chewy goodness in every bite! Can’t wait to try this recipe.
