Ingredients
13 1/2 oz pitted, chopped dates1 2/3 cups boiling water1 medium banana, mashed2 tbsp low-fat milk1/4 cup canola oil2 tsp vanilla2 tbsp packed brown sugar (optional)1 cup flour1/2 cup spelt (or whole wheat) flour1 tsp baking soda1 tsp baking powder1 tsp pumpkin pie spice1/4 tsp salt1/3 cup toasted, slivered almonds1/4 cup toasted whole hazelnuts
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine the dates and water. Let stand 15-20 minutes.
Mix in the banana, milk, oil, vanilla and sugar (if using) until well blended (I found it best to use a potato masher).
Combine the flours, baking soda, baking powder, spice and salt.
Stir into the wet mixture until just blended, then mix in the nuts.
Pour into the prepared pan, filling no more than 2/3 full (I got 4 medium muffins as well as the loaf).
Bake 50 minutes (20 minutes for muffins), or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in pan(s) 20 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack and cooling completely.
