Banana-Zucchini Bread Recipe Reviews - Allrecipes.com (Pg. 14)
Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2009
Very, very good. I, like others, made a few changes. I used 2+ C. of shredded zucchini (it was probably closer to 2 1/2 C.) I used 3 very large and very brown bananas (browner=tastier). I subbed 1 1/4 C. apple sauce for the oil. I reduced the white sugar to 1/2 C. I did not use nuts, but used the dried cranberries. It came out SO SO good and moist. Those of you who have dry bread: You are probably over-mixing the batter. Once you add the dry ingredients, you only want to mix enough so that it's moist. Do NOT over mix, or it'll be dry. Also, you need to use very ripe bananas. The browner, the moister, and the sweeter, better for baking. Lastly, I highly suggest using apple sauce in place of the oil, it's moister this way. Use 1 + 1/4 C. of unsweetened apple sauce instead. It took a while longer to bake this way, about 1 hour, 10 minutes, but keep checking it, and don't fill the bread pans to the top if you don't want it to take as long to bake.

Even though I made a few changes I still think this recipe is delicious. 1 cup white sugar is too much for me. I used 1 cup packed dark brown sugar. Used 2 cups grated zucchini instead of the 1 cup. 3 bananas, mashed instead of the 2. Used 1/2 teaspoon salt instead of 1 teaspoon. I was not planning the last change but I had no other choice. I did not have enough all-purpose flour. So I used 2 cups unbleached flour and 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour. Let me tell you the results were fabulous. My family loved this bread. I am planning to prepare this recipe again, this time with the 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. THANKS SOOOO MUCH********

This is a GREAT recipe, the first batch was gone that day, the second time I made it I was smart enough to put one loaf in the freezer, but even after being in the freezer for a few months the bread was still so moist and tasted delicious.

My kids love this bread. I made a couple of changes to the recipe. I did as many others; 1/4 c. oil & 1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce, I also added 1/4 c. ground Flax, 1/4 t. Allspice, & 1/4 t. nutmeg. Great Bread....Thank-you for adding it :)

This recipe is awesome. My family loved it. My son asked me to make more 2 days later cause he took pieces to school and was selling them to his friends for one dollar. I thought that was hilarious!

Very moist, did have to add about 1/4 of milk because I used 1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup wheatgerm, 1/4 cup of soy flour and 1 1/2 cup of white flour, used unsweetened applesauce instead of oil and cut white sugar to 1/2 cup, no cranberries or nuts.

Kinda dry. I added extra banana and extra zucchini, so I was expecting it to be super moist. Not so much. Good flavor, though next time I would use fresh cranberries.
