The walnuts and dates are a fabulous combination! I cut back the sugar to 1/4 cup because dates are so sweet. Mine came out like a coffee cake - would be great for breakfast. Made for the Aus/NZ recipe swap #16 -
Made two batches of these 'cause I had a whoppin' amount of dates on hand (My neighbors were most happy with my efforts!) ~ VERY, VERY NICE, & a most enjoyable change of pace for me! Thanks for sharing! [Made & reviewed as a kidnapped recipe in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #16]
