    1 cup Sugar

Step 2

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 9-inch square pan or 2 mini bread loaf pan and keep them aside
  • In a blender, blend together dates and coconut milk (almond milk ) to form a thick and smooth paste. Transfer this to a big bowl.
    25 Dates, 1 ½ cups Coconut milk

    1 ½ cups All purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoon Baking soda, ¼ teaspoon Salt, 4 tablespoon Oil, 1 cup Sugar

  • Let the bread rest for at least 5 to 10 minutes before inverting it to a serving platter. Let it cool down completely before you slice it.
  • Vegan Apple Dates Bread is now ready. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • The color of the bread may vary depending on the dates used.
  • You can substitute coconut milk with any diary free milk.
  • For non-vegan version you can substitute coconut milk with whole milk, and vegetable oil or coconut oil with butter.
  • I have used seedless dates in this recipe. You can also reduce or increase the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of the dates and apples.
  • Use any baking pan of desired shape. The baking time for the bread or cake will vary accordingly.
  • If you like your bread with no nuts skip adding almonds and cashews.
