Hunza Diet Bread (cake:)

This is an absolute HIT in our house. It is called 'bread' but it is much more like a cake, and even though it has no sugar, because of the dates is quite sweet. We eat it as a breakfast food, a snack, sometimes even for dinner. Very filling and satisfies a sweet tooth surprisingly well! We just make the basic recipe and sometimes add shredded coconut.

1- 1/4 C flour
1 tsp baking powder
3 eggs, well beaten
1/4 C water
1 C pitted chopped dates, soaked in 1/4 C hot water for about 5 minutes, to soften
1 C walnuts, chopped

-in a bowl thoroughly whisk eggs with a fork.
-add flour and baking powder and whisk with a fork.
-mix dates with water and nuts into mixture with a fork.
-scoop into a greased 9x9 square pan.
-bake at 250 for 45 minutes. Do not over cook, it should be moist. Eat within 2 days.
