- Use a food processor to blend the dates: A food processor will make quick work of blending the dates until they are smooth.
- Add chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture: Chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds are all great additions to date and nut bread.
- Bake the bread in a loaf pan: A 9x5 inch loaf pan is the perfect size for this recipe.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
