Cinnamon Date Walnut Loaf

Rich, moist, and nutty, this delicious cinnamon date walnut loaf is bursting with natural sweetness. Medjool dates, crunchy walnuts, and warm, spicy Ceylon Cinnamon each offer unique boosts of flavorful nutrients. Combined along with ORGANIC INDIA Psyllium Pre & Probiotic Fiber, they deliver a symphony for the senses, suitable for breakfast, a quick snack, and even dessert. 

Flavorful, heat-tolerant ORGANIC INDIA Cinnamon Spice Pre & Probiotic Fiber makes eggless baking easy, adding structure while promoting overall wellness to boot. Essential pre and probiotics and digestion-supporting Triphala naturally supporting a healthy gut, bolstering immune function and more. In addition to enhancing taste, ORGANIC INDIA Ceylon Cinnamon delivers an impressive 41 antioxidants, protecting the body from harmful toxins while helping balance blood sugar. 

We love using sun butter in place of oil or butter in this delicious quick bread, but feel free to sub in almond butter or runny tahini. Loaded with fiber and a host of vitamins and minerals, dates’ natural sweetness can stand alone. In this version we chose to complement the flavor with just a touch of pure maple syrup. Add a little crunch with omega-3 rich walnuts, and this simple loaf is bliss. Enjoy!
