Yields 12 muffins

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (sub all purpose GF flour, or regular all purpose flour)
2 tsps baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup coconut or olive oil
1/4 cup almond milk
1/3 cup sucanat or sugar (this will make the muffins moderately sweet; use 1/2 cup for sweeter muffins, but keep in mind that the dates will add sweetness too)
1 1/4 cup shredded zucchini
2/3 cup chopped dates, tossed in a little flour so that they don’t clump together
