Vegan Apple Dates Bread is a soft and moist, super delicious bread or loaf cake recipe prepared using fresh apples, dates and basic ingredients from your kitchen. This is the best, simple and healthy apple cake recipe ever that you are going to make!
This bread is for all my readers who have requested me to post eggless bread recipes. BREAD RECIPES are the most popular, tried and tested recipes on my blog.
The fresh homemade diced apple sauce not only enhances the flavor but also makes it moist. The combined natural sweetness of the dates, apples and coconut milk makes this bread a standout over any store bought bread. I have added cashews, almonds, and raisins to the bread recipe, as I love the unique texture and crunchiness they provide to the bread. This bread pairs well with hot coffee/tea/milk, but can also be served as a dessert.
For non-vegan version you can substitute coconut milk with whole milk, and vegetable oil with butter. Rest of the recipe remains the same. Also try eggless dates cake.

I couldn’t find my printed copy of this recipe this morning, and almost went into full-on panic mode! Started to search frantically on line and thank goodness I found you again. I love this recipe. Thank you 🙏

Can we substitute with wheat flour ? What other adjustments will be needed to the recipe to keep the same moist and soft texture ?
Kushi
Yes. you can substitute wheat flour for all-purpose flour (maida). Every wheat flour is different. SO start with half the amount and add in increments till you get the batter of the right consistency. Do not over mix. Because you are adding apples your cake is going to be moist and soft.
