This tender and flavorful Dates and Granola Bread with plump dates and coconut almond granola makes a delicious sandwich bread. A must try! | RotiNRice.com #datesbread #granolabread #dates

Ever since I bought those plump Deglet Noor dates about two weeks back, I have been wanting to make this Dates and Granola Bread that I have not made for sometime. I wasn’t quite satisfied with it back then. It was a little dry and the the dates tasted a little too strong. The recipe needed some adjustments.

Another Try

I decided to give this bread another try. The goal this time is to make a more tender, moist, and flavorful loaf. I believe the type of flour and quality of dates used would make a difference.

Perfectly sliced Dates and Granola Bread

Delicious Sandwich Bread

This recipe was adapted from my favorite The Cooks Encyclopedia of Bread Machine Baking cookbook. I used organic whole oat flour instead of whole wheat flour to make a more tender loaf. I also substituted and reduced the amount of unsweetened muesli with coconut almond granola. In place of sunflower oil, I used extra virgin olive oil.

A beautiful hand shaped loaf of Dates and Granola Bread.

The loaf turned out beautifully this time. It was tender and flavorful with a beautiful crust. Fresh bread is always so good eaten on its own with a little butter. You can also make a delicious sandwich if you slice the bread thinly.

    That bread looks moist and tasty. I'm always intimidated when it comes to baking. I admire people who can bake such wonderful treats for their family.

    Those lillies are lovely. Rabbits are so cute but can be such pests. We used to grow strawberries and the rabbits would eat the strawberries and leave us little brown treats. Teehee.

    Oh goodness! I love dates! Have you ever tried Sticky Toffee Pudding? It's probably my all time favourite dessert and it's loaded with dates! I have to try this – the combination of oat, granola and dates sounds to good to pass up. Thanks for sharing your recipe 🙂

    @shahana – Thanks!

    @Kamalika – Thank you and I hope you will give it a try. It really is easier than it looks especially with a bread machine 🙂

    @Tina – Thanks!

    @luvtoeat – Thank you. I enjoy making breads more than cakes. Since hubby bought me the bread machine 6 to 7 years ago, I make a loaf every 2 to 3 days. Homemade breads are the best!

    I have given up on growing strawberries because we never get to eat them….sigh** See denise's comment below LOL!

    denise@quickies on the dinner table – I had a choice between Medjool and Deglet Noor dates and chose the latter. These are firmer and a little less sweet. I've been snacking on them. The coconut almond granola is one of my favorites but use any kind that you like.

    No, I have not tried Sticky Toffee Pudding. Maybe you can make it and share the recipe 😉

    Heehee….you two!!! I guess they are kind of like brownies LOL!

    That's a very lovely homemade loaf. Homemade bread is always the best, both in flavour and texture. Those lilies are very pretty. Spring is here so I'm very happy 😀

    @Cherine – Thanks Cherine!

    @5 Star Foodie – Thanks Natasha!

    @Spicie Foodie – Thank you! That coconut almond granola is my absolte favorite. I eat it as a snack.

    @Scott K – As a food blogger, we have a long list of great recipes we hope to try out…it's fun!

    @Safe Home Happy Mom – Thanks for visiting and following. I do hope you will give this a try.

    @MaryMoh – Thanks and I am happy that spring is here too. Love those flowers and their beautiful colors 🙂

    @Mary – Thanks Mary and thanks for visiting. I am glad you enjoyed your visit. I hope you return often 🙂

    @Cinnamon Girl – Yes, oat flour is just the best as they tend to make very tender baked goodies. You have to try those dates. I keep snacking on them. They are not as sweet as Medjool but very flavorful.

    @bunkycooks – That's why I love the bread machine. I just measure out all the ingredients and leave it to do its job. Just a little more work for hand shaped loaves but it's worth it 🙂

    @Rick – You make me laugh! It is really good as a sandwich bread. I hadn't thought of french toast or bread pudding. Thanks for the suggestion. I think it'll be awesome. Now, I have to make another loaf soon…..

    What a beautiful bread! It must have smelled wonderful when it was baking. You've inspired me to pull my bread machine out, give it a good dusting and put it back to work! =)

    Yeah, rabbits fail to be cute when they eat through your flowers and garden.
