For an even more intense flavor, try toasting the chopped dates before adding them to the batter. Squeezing the excess moisture from the zucchini is crucial for preventing a soggy bread. Feel free to add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture. This bread freezes beautifully. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil for up to 2 months.
