  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 3/4 cup raw honey
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup toasted, coarsely chopped nuts (I used walnuts, pecans and cashews)
  • 1/2 cup pitted, chopped dates
  • 3 eggs at room temperature
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • Egg wash (one yolk mixed with 1 tbsp. water)

- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

- Beat the eggs with the sugar or honey until thick (about 5 min). Add any extracts.

- In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients (except the nuts).

- Let the dough rest 5 minutes and then turn out onto a floured work surface and divide in half. With floured hands, shape the dough into 11-12 inch long logs and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten the logs slightly so that they are about 3-4 inches wide. Brush lightly with the egg wash and bake for 40 minutes, rotating the pans once to ensure even baking.

- Remove loaves from the oven and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes on a wire rack.
