Maple Date Hazelnut Bread

"People have recently started giving me recipes. You know how someone who is kind may find that cats and kittens are left with them? I think the word is out that I will adopt recipes with a smile. Thank heaven that recipes don't need a litter box and cat chow! I was given this one by a very kind person who thought I would like it because it has no "sugar" in it. This thoughtful soul didn't think of maple syrup, apple juice or dates as sugar. While I won't be using it (without a very major overhaul) it does sound very good so I'm passing it on to the less sugar challenged Zaar folks. It doesn't give any prep time so I'm taking my best shot at it."

  1. This is a pretty healthy bread to make with the whole wheat flour, nuts, and natural sweetners. And, it's fairly tasty too; just don't expect it to taste like cake, since the sweetness is subtle, except for the pieces of dates. The bread was dense, and full of nuts and fruit, and spicy flavor. My DH and I enjoyed it for breakfast.
