The wonderful thing about quick breads is that they are QUICK!!

Guess that’s why they are called Quick Breads, huh?

Date-Nut Loaf
Not only was this quick it was very very tasty. But then it has walnuts and butter and cream cheese and brown sugar. I mean, really, what’s not to love!! Oh, and Dates!! And even though I am NOT a fan of dates, they were good in this loaf since the dates are cut into small pieces.

I made just 1/2 of the recipe and that was enough for 3 small loaves. They baked up perfectly (which is a new one on me!!) in just 33 minutes in the convection oven. I may use nothing but the convection oven from now on out. I did not even have to tent them with foil.
This weeks tasty treat was chosen by my friend Mary of Popsicles and Sandy Feet (don’t you love that name??!!)Thanks, Mary. I really liked this one, a lot!!
You can find the recipe on her blog or on page 228 of Dorie’s Baking From My Home To Yours.
We only have a few months left to bake from this great book, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t pleny of great tasty treats left. Buy the Book!!

Love your mini loaves. I think I did something wrong because mine was too dry. Maybe overcooked a bit? I cooked it like 15 minutes less than Dorie said. Yours look great as always.

This was a tasty treat, full of yummy ingredients. I like how dates cook up in to yummy sweet pockets. I will make these again!

Sweet little minis! I am intrigued by convection ovens – might have to put one in when my current one dies.
