Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Zucchini, grated
• 1 cup Pitted dates, chopped
• 0.75 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

Step 4

Fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chopped dates and chopped nuts until evenly dispersed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
