List of Ingredients




2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
2 medium overripe bananas (about 2 cups mashed) or 2 cups grated zucchini
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped dates
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts


Recipe



Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cream sugar, vegetable oil and eggs until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add banana and vanilla and mix well.

Combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Slowly add dry ingredients to banana mixture, stirring until combined. Fold in dates and nuts and pour into two greased loaf pans. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, until pick inserted in the center of each loaf comes out clean. Cool in loaf pans on a rack for 10 minutes, invert onto a rack, remove from pans and cool completely.

Makes 2 loaves.
