Today I am sharing here Dates Bread recipe. It is a quick bread made with whole wheat flour loaded with dates. It is perfect for healthy snacking.

I am so much into baking these days that any dish that involves baking catches my attention first. Most of the time, the new dish I try will be baked one. So when I was thinking about what to make for our trip, quick bread came to my mind. Had lots of dates left so decided on this dates bread. I had also made banana muffins- will post that recipe soon. This was our breakfast along for all the three days. Bread was in a rich golden color and was very soft. It stayed soft too. Kids loved it. Since it is made out of wheat flour, light brown sugar and dates, green signal from Hubby too.
