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.
