I wouldn't partially bake any quick bread, fully bake and then freeze,
it'll be fine. In fact I like all baked goods well baked with a nice
thick crust, what I call "high brown". My mother used to bake banana
nut bread (date nut bread too) in empty one pound coffee cans. When
done open the bottom end and push the loaf out with the lid, lovely
round slices mounded with vanilla ice cream.
