I added raisins, sunflower seeds, agave nectar instead of sugar and cinnamon apple sauce, I also sprinkled coconut on top of the loaf. Can't wait to try it!
I have it in the oven! My mother requested some date and orange loaf... and well, this one seemed perfect. However, having a look at the recipe, I knew I would have to cut some of that sugar down! I don't think she was expecting a vegan loaf though! ^-^
Thanks for this healthier version of date loaf! I'll post a photo of how it turned out!
I eat free range organic eggs, is the apple sauce being used as an egg replacer?
thanks!
Ooh, this sounds yummy! Quick question - is it more like a bread loaf or a sugar-y candy loaf? My grandma used to make small date loafs/rolls for Christmas and they were pure sugar (but delicious!).
It is definitely a very sweet bread loaf. I think that adding the orange is what surprised me the most about the flavour of this loaf. I wouldn't have thought of adding orange to it....it's brilliant :)

This is such an easy recipe. When it is baking, there is a sweet orangey smell that took over the kitchen. DH couldn't wait for it to cool before slicing off a piece.
It is very sweet, so next time I am cutting down on the sugar. I find dates to be extremely sweet & don't need a lot of extra sugar.
The name says it all....it IS a yummy date loaf. I'm keeping this recipe. Thanx :)
