My mother used to make this recipe in a long loaf pan which I don't believe they make any more. Fortunately, I have her pan and whenever I make this it sure brings back such happy memories.
This is absolutly wonderful.I will definitly make this more then once.
Read MoreThis was not a hit for our family. We didn't not like it, but we didn't like it either. No one went out of their way to eat it, so I won't go out of my way to make it again. Sorry.
Read More My mother gave me this recipe years ago, my whole family just loves it! Be sure to serve with cream cheese.
Just want you to know..i have this exact same recipe..my mother-in-law gave it to me...she always made it at Christmas...and now i do...it is a very good date/nut loaf....it isnt supposed to be too sweet...i also have the long loaf pan that they dont make anymore!! it was my mother-in-laws....this is a great recipe for date/nut bread...great with cream cheese on warm slices....
really good. I did add one mashed banana (just because it needed to be used up) and a generous sprinkle of ground ginger. I baked in muffin tins (large) for approx. 35 minutes at 350. Will make again. Next time I may add two sprinkles of ginger.
Tastes just like my Nana's bread. She used to use coffee cans to bake with, which worked really well, giving the bread a nice all-around crust. I haven't tried using them yet, but you can bet I will!
I only needed to bake for 45mins. Thankfully my sense of smell led me to check it earlier or else it would've burnt & been no good. Toothpick came out clean, turned out wonderful & delicious! I used fresh strong brewed coffee instead of the boiled water. I would definitely make again.
Excellent recipe! Didn't have walnuts, so I substituted pecans. Great with butter or crean cheese. Didn't last long. Plan to make it again for our Memorial Day get together.
This is a great recipe - wonderful taste and wonderful texture! I made it to serve to our playgroup when both parents and tots came over this fall for an afternoon of apple picking, and I just realized I forgot to review it! I was looking for a quick-bread that would be a little different than the run of the mill zucchini or pumpkin or banana - and this got rave reviews from everyone! (I did omit the walnuts because I wasn't sure about the tots being able to chew them well and because of allergy concerns). I just used a standard loaf pan, but have kept an eye out for the longer-style pan in second hand shops that Joan wrote about in the recipe's intro. I'm so glad to have a new way of including dates in our snack-times. Thanks very much!

Tasty and makes a nice solid loaf that doesn't crumble when you cut it. I went with part whole wheat pastry flour (about 1/3), half brown sugar, an extra tablespoon of butter, and a little more vanilla, in the interests of both better health and taste, all of which worked well. I'm sure it's quite good as it stands, as well.
This was a good recipe. I've been looking for a recipe that might duplicate my grandmother's date nut bread. While hers was a darker bread, this was very moist and delicious. I got many compliments...and only one tablespoon of butter!
Just what I was looking for. So much like the date/nut bread my mother used to make. Also much like a brown bread baked in cans that my niece used to make(and would not share the recipe!) Think I will try it again using part dates and part raisins and bake in the cans. As suggested by another review, I used hot coffee in place of the water and think that was what made this recipe perfect in my book!
I used to make a date and walnut bread as a child from a recipe handed down from my grand mother. Unfortunately, I lost the recipe. When I saw this, I though I would give it a try as it looked very similar. I'm afraid I didn't enjoy it very much. Too dark for my liking and not very sweet at all. I'm not saying that it's not a good recipe but it definately wasn't what I was looking for!
Very simple to make. Excellent turnout! I tried the original recipe. The only change was the malted barley flour. I had barley and made it into flour in my Blendtec blender. A winner!
SO good and rich-tasting, despite the relatively low fat content. I made this last Christmas and am getting ready to make it again. What a treat!
This was a nice bread, not quite as sweet as I would have liked, but had good texture and made a good size loaf.
A nice desert bread, but requires a lot more time to cook, I believe I added 20 minutes. Good taste and texture but makes a very large loaf. I think I would reduce the number of servings to 8 to get a more accurate timing.
We love this bread. Very sweet. Cooked full hour and it was perfect. Substituted 1 cup white wheat flour for 1 cup all purpose and then used all purpose for the rest of the flour.
Wonderful date nut bread! Moist and tasty! I was so glad I found the recipe as I was at my vacation home and didn’t have the cookbook that I needed for a recipe with dates. I would suggest to the editor to list the ingredients in the order that they're used. I had to scroll up and down to make sure I got all the ingredients in order. Just a suggestion.
