- Eggless Date Nut Bread Recipe
You will always find one or the other kind of teatime bake on my coffee table as they are the perfect company for my evening cup of coffee or tea.
Date Nut Bread is one of my favourite teatime bake recipes. It is utterly simple to prepare and has a deep, rich flavour of dates, walnut, cinnamon, and chocolate chips.
I have followed this date bread recipe for the past 4 years, and every time I try it, I fall in love with it again.
Date Nut Bread
The Dates for Bread
The key ingredient in this bread recipe is the dates. The sweet, dried, seedless, or pitted dates work best for making bread.
Apart from their sweet taste, dates are known for their highly nutritious profile. They are high in fibre and an excellent antioxidant. Many believe that dates are a great source of energy, as well. So if you do not include dates in your diet, now you have enough sweet reasons.
The best way to substitute dates for white sugar is to make date paste , as in this recipe. It is made by mixing dates with water in a blender.
Here are a few of my favourite date recipes:
- Date Coffee Milkshake
- Sugar-Free Date Apple Kheer
Prep Work For Date Nut Bread
- Ensure all the ingredients are at room temperature before making the bread batter.
- Roughly chop walnuts and set aside. Next, chop the dates. Don’t forget to remove the seeds from the dates before chopping.
- Soak chopped dates in boiling water. Mix nicely and set it aside till the mixture cools down a bit. Meanwhile, you can combine the dry ingredients.
- Before preparing the loaf batter, preheat the oven and grease the loaf tin with butter or line it with parchment paper.
The Coffee Glaze for Bread
This coffee glaze is simple to make, yet it is finger-licking good.
Here are a few points to keep in mind for making the coffee glaze:
- Use a good quality, strong instant coffee powder to make the glaze.
- Do not add too much hot water while whisking the coffee and sugar. After whisking the coffee and sugar, the decoction should be silky smooth, creamy and pale brown.
- Ensure the butter is slightly warm and melted while adding the whisked coffee.
- Once the glaze is ready, immediately pour it over the cake. Do not set it aside too long; otherwise, the butter will start solidifying, especially in cold regions.

Storage Suggestion
You can store date nut bread at room temperature for 1 – 2 days.
For longer shelf life, storing the date bread in the refrigerator in an airtight container is best. It remains fresh for a week.
Before serving, reheat the bread slice in the microwave for 10 – 20 seconds.
