My mother's modification of a traditional recipe:

DATE BREAD

3/4 c boiling water
1 c sugar
2 T applesauce
2 c flour
1 c nonfat yogurt
1 pkg (8 oz) chopped dates
2 egg whites
2 t vanilla
2 t baking soda
1/4 t baking powder

Pour boiling water over dates.  Let stand 15 min.  Beat sugar, egg whites,
applesauce for 3 min on high speed.  Blend in date mixture and vanilla. 
Comine dry ingredients.  Add alternately with yogurt to beaten mixture. 
Blend well.  Pour batter in 4 sprayed small aluminum loaf pans (3 1/4" x 
5 3/4").  Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 min.  Makes 4 loaves.
