Hazelnut Date Bread

Thursday, January 10, 2013

Quick breads and other breakfast baked goods are in my top 5 things to bake. I love them fresh from the oven. My not being much of a morning person makes it so they don't get baked that often. I should really work on that. I feel that there are two different kinds of quick breads. There are the dessert-level sweet kind. While I like those (hello, gorgeous!), my heart lies with the less sweet ones. Those are the ones that are great for a lazy weekend morning or even an afternoon treat.

Confession time. I don't like pumpkin. As much as I am enamored with fall, you'd think I'd embrace pumpkin baking as so many of you do. Not so much. Even with my dislike of all things pumpkin, I must admit that this bread is good. More than good. It's delicious! It's packed with all kinds of good things - brown sugar, pecans, spices - that complement the pumpkin and make this a great fall quick bread.

It's been a while since I made a quick bread. They're truly one of my favorite things to bake, although I don't seem to make them often.

Granted, I'm pretty much always looking for an excuse to use cream cheese, but this is truly a fabulous use for it.

Unintentionally, I seem to have started 2012 in a very similar way to 2011. Last year, there was that amazing Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cake. And now, this year begins with this fantastically easy, very tasty quick bread that also features chocolate chips and oats.

View more photos Being a big fan of Williams-Sonoma, you can imagine that I am an even bigger fan of the Williams-Sonoma outlet about 90 miles from here. I try to keep my visits to a minimum, but I do love perusing the aisles looking at all of that lovely, mostly unnecessary stuff. Last weekend, [...]
