Taateli-pähkinäleipä
Ainekset
- 1 kuppi Medjoolin päivämäärät - kuoppainen (huom. 1)
- 1 kuppi Manteli-maitoa - haalea (huomautus 2)
- ⅓ kuppi Miedon makuinen oliiviöljy - (huomautus 3)
- 1 ½ kupit Yleisjauho - (huomautus 4)
- ½ teelusikka Ruokasooda
- ¾ teelusikka Leivinjauhetta
- 1 teelusikka Cinamon
- ½ teelusikka Salt - valinnainen
- 1 teelusikka Vaniljauute
Täyte
- ½ kuppi Silputut saksanpähkinät - (huomautus 5)
- ½ kuppi Medjoolin päivämäärät - pitted, finely chopped
Ohjeet
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch loaf pan with hanging parts of parchment paper. Slightly oil the paper with oil spray. Set aside.
- Place the 1 cup of medjool dates in a large glass bowl. Set aside.
- Place the almond milk in a microwave-safe bowl, cover the bowl with a lid so the milk doesn't evaporate. Microwave for 1 minute on high. You can also warm the milk in a saucepan, over medium heat, using a lid on top of the saucepan.
- Pour the warm almond milk on top of the dates and cover the bowl with a lid. Set it aside for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt if used.
- Whisk the dry ingredients until evenly combined. Set aside.
- On a chopping board, chop the walnuts finely, and add them to the bowl with the flour.
- Chop the 1/2 cup of medjool dates into smaller bits. Their size doesn't really matter, but the smaller, the better they distribute among the bread crumbs. Add the chopped dates to the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Pour the dates and lukewarm milk into a high-speed blender, blend on medium-high speed until it forms a smooth, creamy date paste.
- Pour the date paste into the bowl with the dry ingredients, making sure you scrape down the sides of the jug with a rubber spatula to get all of it.
- Add oil and vanilla extract. Use a rubber spatula to stir all the ingredients together and form a thick, consistent bread batter.
- Kaada taikina valmiiseen vuokaan.
- Bake in the center rack of the oven for 35-45 minutes until dry on top, and a toothpick inserted in the middle of the bread comes out clean. The bread won't rise much, that's normal. It's a moist date bread, a bit more compact than classic bread.
- Let it cool down for 10 minutes in the pan, then lift the hanging parts of parchment paper to release the bread onto a cooling rack.
- Let the bread cool for another 3 hours before slicing. If you slice it lukewarm, the bread is fragile and crumbly, so it's better to wait!

Ravitsemus
Ainesosat ja vaihdot
Tarvitset vain muutaman yksinkertaisen ainesosan tämän reseptin valmistukseen. Näin valitset ja vaihdat ne.

- Medjoolin päivämäärät – These act as the primary sweetener and bind the ingredients together, creating a caramel-like flavor without refined sugar. Deglet Noor dates work too, though you may need to soak them longer.
- Manteli-maitoa – This provides the liquid needed to soften the dates and create the batter. Soy milk, oat milk, or cashew milk are great alternatives.
- Miedon makuinen oliiviöljy – This ensures the bread stays moist and tender for days. Avocado oil, canola oil, or melted refined coconut oil also work perfectly.
- Yleisjauho – This gives the bread its structure and crumb. White spelt flour or white whole wheat flour are sturdy substitutes.
- Baking Soda & Baking Powder – These provide the leavening lift, helping the heavy batter rise in the oven.
- Kaneli – This adds warmth and spice that pairs beautifully with the dates. Nutmeg or a pinch of cardamom are nice additions as well.
- Salt – This balances the sweetness of the fruit and brings out the nutty flavors.
- Vaniljauute – This enhances the natural sweetness and aroma of the bread.
- Silputut saksanpähkinät – These add a necessary crunch and earthy flavor to contrast the soft texture. Pecans, almonds, or pumpkin seeds are excellent swaps.

Carinen leivontavinkkejä
Let me share a few more tips for a perfect bread!
- Add Citrus Zest – Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of orange zest to infuse the bread with a lovely, bright citrus flavor.
- Go Nut-Free – Swap the walnuts for seeds like hemp, sesame, or pumpkin seeds to create a safe, allergy-friendly loaf.
- Measure Dates Correctly – Weigh non-Medjool dates instead of using cup measurements because drier, smaller varieties pack differently and can make the bread too dry.
- Adjust The Sweetness – Skip the added chopped dates or swap them for raisins, cranberries, or chopped figs if you prefer a less sweet loaf.
- Serve With Butter – Enjoy a slice topped with your favorite spread, such as peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter.







Delicious. Much sweeter than I expected. The batter tasted bland, but once cooked it was sweet and delicious. I printed the recipe and will add it to my regular rotation. Thanks for another great recipe.
I agree! The dates release lots of sweetness as you bake the bread, that’s why I don’t add sugar in the recipe. So glad you love it too.
This loaf is so nice! Moist, not over sweet, lovely flavours.
I will be making this again that’s for sure!!
We couldn’t wait 3 hrs to cut it and it stayed together well.
I am so happy you love it !
Hi. I have a container of date paste. . Can this be used i stead of making my own? If so, how much should I use.?
Thanks for this great looking recipe!
Yes, you can use date paste for the filling, I would still add the walnuts!
Hi can I use Almond flour?
No, the bread will never firm up.
I only have regular dried pitted dates. How many grams is equivalent to 1 cup?
