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

    Oh I like this idea. Why have I never thought to combine date nut & zucchini breads into the same recipe before now? Looks really tasty, as always.

    No one ever uses dates anymore. And they are so good for cakes and breads. So happy to see them again.

    Hi Biren – I LOOOOOVE dates and zucchini so I know I would devour this! I love quickreads because they're so much faster than yeast breads and make them often, so I would definitely love to try this recipe!

    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 🙂

    That makes two of us. I have enjoyed using these dates in my cooking lately. Bought them at the Middle Eastern store that I recently discovered.

    You are right Rick. We seldom see dates in recipes these days but they are good in cakes and breads. I'll be using them more often.
