Ingredientes
- 1 taza chopped pitted dates
- 1 taza agua hirviendo
- 1 cucharadita bicarbonato de sodio
- 2 cucharada butter or coconut oil
- 1/3 taza honey or maple syrup (instead of sugar)
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 taza wholewheat flour
- ½ taza oats (optional for texture)
- 1 cucharadita levadura en polvo
- ½ cucharadita canela (opcional)
- 1 pellizcar sal
- ½ taza nueces picadas (optional — walnuts or pecans work well)
Instrucciones
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a loaf tin or line with baking paper.
- Place the chopped dates, boiling water, bicarbonate of soda, and butter in a bowl. Stir and let it sit for 10 minutes to soften the dates.
- Stir in the honey (or syrup) and beaten egg.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed — don’t overmix.
- Fold in the chopped nuts if using.
- Pour into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
