Directions
2 LOAVES (20 SLICES) OVO-LACTO
Rich and delightfully chewy, this bread makes a great snack, especially when slathered with cream cheese.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine first five ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir dates, walnuts or pecans, ½ cup rolled oats into dry ingredients.
In separate medium bowl, whisk butter, oil, brown sugar, eggs, milk, molasses, liqueur or coffee (if using) and vanilla. Stir dry ingredients into milk mixture with wooden spoon until combined.
Lightly coat two 8- by 4-inch loaf pans with softened butter or oil, then lightly dust with all-purpose flour. Evenly divide batter between loaf pans. Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup rolled oats over loaves. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until toothpick or paring knife comes out clean when inserted in center. Let cool in pans for 15 minutes. Turn loaves out and serve warm, or transfer to a rack and cool completely before serving.
