Yummy! Great way to use up those ripe bananas and zucchini! I added an extra cup of zucchini (I squoze out the water in a paper town so it really turned out to be about a cup and a half). And I threw in an extra banana, just because I had it. I made 4 small loaves and 6 muffins. The muffins cooked for 35 min. and the loaves for 45 min. Definitely do not cut back on the sugar!!! It needed all of it--perhaps because I added the extra zucchini and banana (?). Oh, I also made a crumb topping: 1TB butter cut w/ 1/3 c. brown sugar, 1 TB cinnamon, and 2 TB flour. Definitely a keeper! (Oh, I left out the cranberries and nuts because my family doesn't like them!)

I guess it's strange to rate this 5 stars when I made so many changes- but it was delicious! I used 4 very ripe bananas, about a 1/2 cup more zucchini, a small handful of freshly ground flax, I added applesauce to make it 1/2 veg oil & 1/2 applesauce... I added about a tablespoon of lecithin for extra nutrition and about 2 Tablespoons of dutch cocoa. Oh, and I omitted 1/2 of the white sugar, because I decided to make a quick butter/sugar/crumb topping before baking. I made them into muffins instead, since I have 6, 4 & 2 year olds & figured they'd rather have "their OWN" muffin than just a slice of bread. I was right! They are SO good and there is no sign of them "tasting" healthy. The kids inhaled them, and 2 of my kids are extremely picky eaters. UPDATE 9/10/09: I just made another batch of muffins. This time I used 5 bananas & almost 2 cups zucchini... they came out perfectly at 20 min, sooo moist & delicious!

I made it by replacing the oil with applesauce and using less sugar, it was great!

I used a yellow zucchini and the bread was a bit dry. Next time I'll use a green one.

I followed the recipe, except I omitted the cranberries and walnuts because I didn't have them on hand and I made muffins. I also added a few Tbsp of milled flax seed. We loved them, even my husband who doesn't like zucchini. Next time I will add the walnuts and maybe the cranberries too. I cooked the muffins 25 mins for regular size, and 15 mins for mini. It made 24 regular and 12 mini.

Loved this recipe. Made one loaf and the rest were muffins. The muffins got gobbled up by my two picky kids. I used mostly whole wheat flour and oat flour. I subbed choc. chips for the dried fruit and topped with chopped pecans.

This recipe can be halved with excellent results. My entire family really enjoyed it--moist and delicious and healthy! It is exceptionally good with whipped cream cheese! Also freezes well! I substituted currants for the cranberries and pecans for the walnuts, just because it's what I had on-hand. Thanks for sharing this one!

Agree with other posters who said it's a little dry. Still a good recipe, though. I will probably substitute plain yogurt for some of the oil next time, to make it healthier—I think that will also help increase the moistness.

Tasty, but, mine was a bit on the dry side. Still, a nice bread recipe to use up the abundance of garden zucchini & banana's.

This was excellent. I chose this recipe since I had 2 overripe bananas to make use of, but was out of cranberries and nuts (had to settle for just raisins). Made quite a few changes: used only brown sugar (1 2/3 cups total), and used applesauce instead of oil (equal amount) and distilled vinegar for eggs (1 egg = 1 tbsp). Absolutely fabulous results!

I subbed applesauce for the oil,halved the white sugar and left out the nuts and cranberries, as I was making these for breakfast for my one year old. I made them into mini muffins, which my little one loves- they are just her size and produce little waste. The mini muffins take about 15 minutes and the regular muffins (which I made for me!) take about 22. I always wonder about timing when I bake in another size pan, so I thought I would share. These were very yummy!

Really great recipe base. Like others, I tweaked the recipe for what I had on hand and for health...first I substituted egg whites for the whole eggs, I used on 8 oz container of low fat vanilla yogurt for the oil, reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup, increased zucchini to 2 cups (and squeezed liquid out), and increased vanilla to 1 tablespoon. Oh, I also didn't put in the cranberries, cause I didn't have any. I know this is alot of changes and therefore may not even be considered the same recipe, but without the direction of this recipe, I wouldn't have know where to start with my bread! So I give it 5 stars for being a consistantly great bread recipe despite alterations. Thanks!

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.
