  • 1.25 gm ground cinnamon
  • 40.00 ml pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to a cozy 160°C. Lightly grease a 14 x 21cm loaf pan and line the base and sides with baking paper.
  • Combine the creamy ricotta, sweet sugar, luscious butter, and eggs in a spacious bowl. Gently fold in the zucchini, carrot, and dates.
