This Thermomix Date Loaf is an absolute classic recipe! I’ve been making it for years, but have finally got around to converting it to the Thermomix.

I had the perfect excuse to make this loaf… morning tea with my gran (which also just happened to be the first time she met her gorgeous great-grandson!). I knew that my gran loved classic recipes and so this one was sure to be a hit. Thankfully it got her tick of approval!!!

  2. I made this date loaf this afternoon. Subbing nuttelex, gf flour and adding 1.5 Tsp xantham gum. It was absolutely delicious and very hard to stop at the two pieces we had. I don’t think it will make the freezer!! Thank you for sharing this recipe. It is going to be one of our favourites.
