Banana, Zucchini and Date Loaf

Banana, Zucchini and Date Loaf

Banana bread is one of life’s delicious treasures. It’s so very moorish. And I don’t know many people who don’t like it. It really is the ultimate crowd pleaser! This Banana, Zucchini and Date Loaf is currently my favourite version. It’s rich and decadent yet moist and light. Plus it has the bonus of hidden veggies with a couple of zucchini added in there and the sugar is significantly reduced compared to many other versions out there.

It’s so versatile too. Eat it warm, straight from the oven. Keep it in the fridge and enjoy a cold, buttered slice for a snack. Put some out as part of a grazing morning tea platter. Toast a couple of slices for a delicious breakfast or pop a buttered slice into any kids lunchbox to make their day. You can even have some warm with ice cream on top for dessert! The options are endless and delicious!

And the best bit is this banana, zucchini and date loaf is quick and easy to make.

    Is it really only 180 degrees? Mine is not cooking.

      Hi Debra, it’s 180 degrees Celsius not Fahrenheit if that helps!
