Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Dates (chopped, pitted)
• 0.75 cup Hazelnuts (toasted and chopped)
• 0 Maple glaze or powdered sugar (optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. This forms your dry mixture.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped dates and toasted hazelnuts evenly into the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it into an even layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

If desired, drizzle the top with maple glaze or dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 10

Slice and serve! Enjoy your homemade Maple Date Hazelnut Bread fresh or store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
