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.

Date-Nut Bread with organic dates

I was inspired to make this bread after receiving these gorgeous Medjool dates from my friends at Natural Delights (full disclosure: this is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own).

Natural Delights date products

Natural Delights Medjool dates come from Bard Valley Date Growers, a USA-based co-op that uses sustainable growing practices with no pesticides or GMOs used on any of the fruit. I’ve been a fan of these dates for many years now and love using them for natural, healthy sweetness. 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.

  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!

  6. I never use cassava flour but recently have seen so many recipes that look awesome using it! Can’t believe how amazing your loaf looks on that birds eye photo! So jealous that you got to eat this.

  10. That loaf looks soooo moist, and with the walnuts. Drooooling over here. Serious paleo baking skills!

  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.

  13. The date paste looks so convenient and awesome ! I need to find one too. It’ll make my life so much easier. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe !

  18. This looks so yummy, and I love the touch of cinnamon in there! I’m thinking toasted and spread with butter alongside a cup of coffee next weekend!
