Nice recipe! Like other reviewers, I made a few modifications to up the health content even further: 1. used applesauce instead of oil, 2. used white whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour. Because all of the flour was some form of whole wheat, I added about a teaspoon of vital wheat gluten and everything rose wonderfully. I also found it necessary to add milk because the mixture was too dry otherwise - added about 3/4 cup almond milk. I also added a dash of nutmeg and cloves. YUM! Made it in loaf size, 9" round cake pan, two mini-muffin trays, and one 6-count regular muffin tray.

Yum! Might want to check your loaves sooner so they don't overbake. Even my toddler loved this.

This was the 1st recipe I saw. Looked so good, so I tried it. Incredible. I live at 5,000' elevation, so no alterations necessary for high elevation. I liked the alternatives to using wheat & honey. I can see adding in grated apples or blueberries to this mix. My husband doesn't care for alternative foods... he's ate half the mini loaf in less than 2 minutes... I'd say this is a WINNER!

Ok... not my favorite. It was a little too dry for my taste

I made it according to the recipe, and my batter was much too dry (even though the zucchini was moist). So I added 1 cup of soy milk, which worked. I put a handful of raisins in and made the 3rd loaf as muffins. Overall good recipe--just needed more liquid. I like this lower fat version.

We love this recipe. The honey and brown sugar are such a nice addition. The first time, I followed the recipe, but did some in muffin tins for about 10 min. Delicious! The second time, I did try half white and half wheat flour and it came out a little dry. Next time, I'll add a little more oil, zucchini, or some apple sauce to compensate.

Loved that this used up a lot of my giant zucchini. I did halve the brown sugar, and it was just the right sweetness for us. Also did half wheat, half white flour, with a little milk.

Light in color, moist and full of flavor. I made half as much and had two loaves.

I don't quite know how to rate this. I agree w/ many reviewers who said that a recipe titled Whole Wheat--should be all whole wheat. That said, I followed the changes listed by Kate and this is FABULOUS!! 4.5 c. whole wheat pastry flour 1c milk 3 eggs raw sugar + 1 tbs molasses. Oh, and I added 1 tsp nutmeg. Thanks to the orginal poster and to Kate.
