Fat Free Loaf (With Dates and Carrot-Yummy!) image

I found this recipe on an internet forum - inventer unknown. It is a boiled fruit loaf- super easy, and can all be mixed in the one pot. It is well liked by children and adults, and is nice with butter (not fat free!) Aparently if cut into 15 slices, 1 slice = 1.5 weight watchers points. This is great made with gluten free flour, it is also vegan.

Time 45m

Yield 10-15 slices, 10-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

180 g pitted dates (chopped with scissors- each date 3-4 x)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
1 carrot, grated (medium- large)
1 1/2 cups self raising flour (or 1 tsp baking powder per cup of normal flour)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cardamom (optional)
1 grated apple, also goes well (as well as the carrot)

Steps:

  • Combine dates, brown sugar, bicarb soda and water in a pot. Bring to boil, simmer for 1-2 mins (stir a few times) then turn off heat and leave to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius Grease a 22x 11cm tin (or use baking paper).
  • Add carrot to date mix (I just grate straight into pot) a 1/2 or whole apple is also nice grated in too (I don't wait until date mix is totally cool).
  • Sift flour and spices together and add to mix. (I don't- I just chuck it all into the pot! Saves on dishes).
  • Mix well and spoon into loaf tin. You can add extra water if too dry to mix well.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes Use a skewer to check if middle cooked.
  • Note- if using gluten free flour (not self raising) add 2- 2.5 teaspoons of baking powder + 1 tsp (optional) of guar gum.

This is a great recipe for a gluten-free loaf. I used almond flour instead of all-purpose flour and it turned out great.

I'm not a big fan of dates, but I still enjoyed this bread. The carrots and spices give it a nice flavor.
