Oooh! It was cold last night. So what did I want to do? Make something yummy in the kitchen! This time it was my favorite Almond Nut Bread with Crystalized Ginger and Dates. Add some cream cheese or almond butter and a nice hot cup of tea and you’re in for a fragrant and delicious harvest season taste treat. Delicious!

Like many of my favorite recipes, this one offers the opportunity to improvise. I love crystalized ginger and dates so I suggest that in this recipe but if you’re not a fan of those choices, feel free to substitute something you’ll enjoy. Chopped Fuyu persimmons straight from the tree were a big hit one year. Chopped dried apricots, plums, raisins or currents have all worked well—have fun!

Almond Nut Bread with Crystalized Ginger and Dates

1 1/2 cups white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup (or a little less) sugar
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 Tbsp salad or coconut oil
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 cup chopped almonds
1/4 – 1/2 cup of chopped crystalized ginger
1/2 cup chopped dates

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Grease and flour a 9 x 5 x 3″ loaf pan.
Measure all ingredients into a large mixer bowl and beat at medium speed for 1/2 min, scraping the sides and bottom of bowl constantly to mix well.
Pour into your pan and bake 55 – 65 minutes until wooden toothpick placed into the center comes out clean.
Cool before slicing.
