From the Test Kitchen

This delicious loaf is perfect for breakfast and/or snacking! The rich batter combines flour, biscuit mix, cream, maple syrup, and more before folding in bites of dried tart cherries and crunchy almonds and topping with an almond-oat mixture. A side of butter mixed with date syrup and a blend of warming spices (which is also used in the loaf) is perfect for lathering onto each warm slice.
