Notes
- The color of the bread may vary depending on the dates used.
- You can substitute coconut milk with other dairy-free milk.
- For the non-vegan version, you can substitute coconut milk with whole milk and vegetable oil with butter.
- I used seedless dates in this recipe. Depending on the sweetness of the dates and apple, you can also reduce the amount of sugar.
- You can use any baking pan of the desired shape. The baking time will vary accordingly.
- You can even toast the nuts and add them to the recipe.
