Subbed walnuts for dates, doubled the whole recipe, put soda in late after a trip to shop, subbed I cup flour with wholemeal, came out perfect again :)

Lorna

The easiest recipe.
I am allergic to nuts so I just doubled the date measurement. A gluten free loaf that last longer without drying out with the extra dates in. Easy, and very yummy recipe.

Phil

Yum yum yum! Added an egg, ginger spice and mandarin juice. Cut down on the sugar and put more dates in. Beautifully moist keeps well - just yum!

I am allergic to nuts, so I use a bag and a half of dates to replace them. And I use all the Edmonds gluten free products. My husband is tge best baker in our family, even baked our wedding cake. And he Loaves this Date Loaf recipe too.

Lorna

A brilliant and easy recipe. I used all tge Edmonds Gluten Free products with the same measurements. When backing with out the walnuts (allergy), I used 2 cups of dates. My one off bake that flopped was delicious with Edmonds custard.
