2 eggs

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease or line an 8.5x4.5 inch loaf pan.

Into a food processor/blender, add the oats then the rest of the ingredients minus the walnuts. Blend until smooth.

Stir in the walnuts, if adding.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake for 30 minutes or so, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Soak the dates in warm water for at least 30 minutes before adding to the blender! It'll result in a smoother consistency.
