Mill buckwheat into flour, 20sec on Speed 9/10. Add Weetbix, SR flour, baking powder and ground ginger. Mix together for 5 seconds, Speed 5. Set aside.
Place ginger into TM bowl and press Turbo one quickly until ginger is roughly chopped. Set aside.
Place dates into TM bowl. Chop 10 seconds, Speed 6 (until roughly chopped). Add water, sugar and butter to bowl. Cook for 5 minutes, 100C, Speed 2. Allow to cool.
When cool, add ginger and egg, and mix in, 5 seconds, Speed 4. Mix in dry ingredients, 5-10 seconds, Speed 5.
Place into loaf tin lined with baking paper and bake 180C for 50-55 minutes or until cooked.

Tip
This loaf is quite dense. To make it lighter, omit the buckwheat and baking powder and use 160g of self-raising flour.
Mixture can also be steamed into individual date and ginger puddings using the Varoma: 3/4 fill silicon muffin pans, place in both layers of Varoma. Fill TM bowl with 1 litre of water and steam for 25 minutes, Varoma temperature, Speed 1. Serve with home-made vanilla ice-cream.

Comments
Yummy and easy just remember to allow time to let the date mixture cool. Im not a fan of ginger and I like the loaf and so does my son. I only used 1/3 the sugar and its really sweet I think you could omit it all together.
