Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Slice and serve your Mystic Moon Pistachio Date Nut Loaf with a warm cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy!
