Quick breads are a snap to prepare as the ingredients are simply mixed together in a large bowl, spooned into a loaf pan and baked. In less than one and a half hours you will have a warm delicious loaf on the table. Preparation only takes 15 to 20 minutes and the baking itself is about an hour. No wonder they are so popular.

This Dates and Zucchini Bread recipe was adapted from Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook. I halved the sugar and nuts and added half a cup of chopped dates. There was enough sweetness in the dates to make up for lack of sugar. Actually I think half a cup sugar is plenty. I also added a half cup milk as it appeared to be a little dry while I was mixing the ingredients together. That really helped as the bread was tender and moist and not too dense.

    Mmm…that's lots of wholesome goodness in that loaf. If I make this I'll be eating it all alone. My children won't eat. They either eat white bread (seldom) or don't eat at all. I have to bribe my hubby to eat…haha

    I really enjoy snacking and cooking with those dates. They area almost gone now and I just got some Medjool. These are larger, sweeter and softer, and really good. Don't know if there'll be any left for cooking 🙂
