Fruit Sweet And Sugar Free - Date Nut Bread

Method

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
• Lightly spray two bread pans with lecithin spray
• Toast the walnuts in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally
• Allow the nuts to cool, then coarsely chop them with a knife or with the pulsing action in a food processor and put them aside
• Combine the date pieces, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl
• Stir in the warm water
• On medium speed beat the fruit sweetener and butter together until light and fluffy
• Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition before adding the next
• On the lowest speed stir in the flour and then the date mixture and the toasted walnuts
• Pour the batter into the prepared pans
• Place the loaves on the middle shelf of the oven, and bake for approximately 1 hour
• A toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf will come out clean when the bread is done
• Cool the loaves slightly before removing them from the pans and cooling them on a wire rack
• Wrap the breads in plastic wrap and let them sit for a few hours to overnight at room temperature before slicing.
