Caramel Maple Glaze
- 3 medjool dates
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup coconut cream (or the thick sediment at the top of full-fat canned coconut milk)
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons arrowroot powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a small bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Set aside
- In a separate bowl, combine the vanilla extract, almond milk, maple syrup, applesauce, and eggs
- Add the dry ingredients and beat on medium speed until well combined. Add the melted coconut oil
- Fold in the diced apple to the mixture
- Pour into a well-greased loaf pan and place into the oven
- Let bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and outside is slightly golden
- As the bread is baking, remove the pits from the dates and place into a small pot or saucepan with one cup of water
- Bring the water to a boil in order for the dates to soften – this will take just a few minutes
- Drain the water and place the dates in a small food processor or blender
- Add the coconut cream and maple syrup. Blend until well combined
- Pour the mixture back into a small pot or saucepan and heat over medium heat until the mixture starts to simmer
- Remove from heat and add the arrowroot powder. Whisk well to combine
- Refrigerate at least 30 minutes
- Once the glaze has thickened, drizzle over the bread and serve
