By clawson

Ingredients

• 1 can (12 ounces) diet cola beverage
• 1 package (8 ounces) pitted dates, coarsely chopped
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

What To Do:

Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Coat a 9" x 5" loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium saucepan, bring the cola to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the dates, brown sugar, and oil; mix well then set aside to cool.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon; stir until well combined. Add to the cola mixture then stir in the egg and vanilla until well combined; spoon into the loaf pan.

Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before removing from the pan.
