Description

Grandma's zucchini bread recipe is enriched with chopped dates and has the flavor of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in every bite!

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 pinch ground ginger
1 pinch ground black pepper
2 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups shredded zucchini
1/2 cup dates, pitted and chopped

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
2 Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and pepper together in a bowl until evenly combined; set aside.
3 Beat sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla in a mixing bowl until smooth. Fold in flour mixture, zucchini, and dates until no dry spots remain. Divide the batter between the prepared loaf pans.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 70 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
