Ingredients
- 150 grams pitted dates
- 300 milliliters boiling water
- 100 grams grated carrot
- 180 grams self-rising flour
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 1-pound loaf tin with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick spray.
Step 2
Chop the dates into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl. Pour the boiling water over the dates and set aside for 10 minutes to soften.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4
In another bowl, lightly beat the egg, then stir in the vanilla extract and grated carrot. Mix well.
Step 5
After the dates have soaked, mash them lightly with a fork (you can leave a few chunks for texture). Add the dates and their soaking liquid to the egg and carrot mixture, stirring to combine.
Step 6
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until you have a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Slice and serve on its own or with a dollop of fat-free yogurt for added creaminess. Enjoy!
