Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted dates (chopped)
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 ½ cups Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1:1 Baking Flour
- ¾ cup coconut sugar
- ½ tsp baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 6-cavity mini loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a small bowl, pour the hot water over the dates and let them soak while you prepare the batter.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the chopped pecans.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk together the aquafaba, almond butter, molasses, apple cider vinegar, and water from the dates.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and stir until combined.
- Stir them dates into the batter.
- Spoon the batter evenly into each cavity of the loaf pan.
- Bake for 25-28 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean.
- Let cool in the loaf pan on a wire rack for about 5 minutes. Remove the loaves from the pan and continue to let cool on the wire rack.
