http://www.swansonvitamins.com/health-library/recipes/?SourceCode=INTE904 give you a list of healthy recipes...however note that advertise only their product...I substitute cheaper ones to fit my budget. I never use organic in this recipe because right now their too expensive or can't find. That's why I added some brand names. I do like Bob's but it not always available...you got the picture.

Ingredients:
1 cup Organic Fancy Whole Dates
1/4 cup Certified Organic Date Sugar
3/4 cup boiling water
2 cups Organic Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
1 tablespoon Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal
2 teaspoons Bob's Red Mill Double Acting Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon sea 0r, Crystal Salt
1/2 teaspoon Organic Cinnamon
1/2 cup Eden Foods Organic Apple Sauce
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons dark rum (or freshly squeezed orange juice)
1/2 cup chopped Organic Walnuts
Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray or lightly grease a 9x5x3 loaf pan. Combine dates, date sugar and boiling water in a small bowl. Allow to sit and cool for about 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the flour, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
In another smaller bowl mix together the applesauce, egg, vanilla and rum (or juice) until combined well. Add both the applesauce mixture, followed by the date mixture into the large bowl of dry ingredients; combine well. Stir in the walnuts.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick test comes out clean.
