Thermomix Date Loaf

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!!!

Anyway, if you’re after a really delicious, moist and yummy loaf – then this is the one you need! I’ve been making this a lot lately as it’s the perfect breakfast on the go (which you really, really need with a 4 month old baby in tow!!).

Enjoy xx
