Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Chopped pitted dates
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk)
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
• 1 large Egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

In a small bowl, toss the chopped dates with a tablespoon of the dry flour mixture to prevent them from sinking in the batter. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes to create a buttermilk-like texture.

Step 5

Add honey, egg, and vanilla extract to the almond milk mixture. Whisk until well combined.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Do not overmix; stir just until everything is combined.

Step 7

Gently fold in the chopped dates and walnuts, if using.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
