Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups zucchini, grated with liquid
  • 1 ¼ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup oat flour
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 cup dates, pitted and diced
  • ½ cup roasted walnuts or pecans, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • butter for greasing the pan

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the middle. Line a 9 x 5-inch or 10x4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on two sides, and grease the remaining sides with butter.

  • In a mixing bowl, blend together the flours, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
    1 ¼ cup unbleached all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ cup oat flour
  • In another bowl, whisk the sugars, oil, vanilla, and eggs until well combined. Stir in the grated zucchini, cinnamon, nutmeg, dates, and nuts. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined; avoid excessive mixing.
    2 cups zucchini, 2 eggs, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup white granulated sugar, ½ cup olive oil, 1 cup dates, ½ cup roasted walnuts or pecans, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • 🍱To Store. Enjoy within 2 days for best texture and flavor, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • 🥶Freezing. You can freezethe slices for 2-3 months. I recommend slicing the bread and wrapping them individually for easier thawing. Allow to come to room temperature and enjoy. Or to quickly reheat the bread, you can use a toaster or microwave.
  • Make Ahead. Grate and store zucchini ahead for 1-2 days. Keep grated zucchini separate in the fridge for 3-5 days. Bring to room temperature before baking.
