This was a really good zucchini bread. The only thing I thought should happen would be to cut the cinnamon in half. I think the full amount is too strong and leaves a slight aftertaste.

This is really good bread. I made it exactly as the recipe calls for. I did have a mishap though. I did mention in my profile that my cooking tragedies are always when I’m baking well it happened again. I took the bread out about 1 hr of baking I inserted a toothpick and it came out clean, my little voice told me the toothpick did not reach the bottom but I chose not to listen, the problem came when I when to put it on the cooling rack, the bottom caved in, the bread was not fully cooked, I had to try to put it back in the pan, what a mess. It didn’t turn out nice looking but it sure is good. Next time I will insert a knife or something that I’m sure will reach the bottom of the pan. A lesson learnt.

I doubled this and used half unsweetened applesauce and half oil. We are super impressed! I begged my husband to try it even though he does not like other zu-breads I have made and he is really enjoying it. Thank you!!!

Great recipe. The bread was moist, had great color and flavor. I substituted 1 cup of applesauce for the oil, used only whole wheat flour, 1 cup of brown sugar, and added 1/4 cup of flax seeds. I baked the bread last night and served it this morning. It was sweet, but not too sweet, with a nice nutty flavor. I'll be making this regularly from now on.

This recipe is delicious. It tastes just as good as my mothers recipe but more nutritious with the whole wheat flour and wheat germ. I used oat flour instead of whole wheat and it worked out great.

After cutting the oil and adding applesauce as one review suggested, I loved this bread. It went over very well with the whole family, and my husband ate it for days after.

I really liked this recipe. It was lighter and less sweet than other zuccini breads I've had and just had lots of texture with the raisins and the nuts. I used quick cooking oats instead of the germ and it still came out really well =)

I was looking for a healthy zucchini bread (something with whole wheat flour) so I tried this. I used 2/3 cup of applesauce and only 1/3 cup oil to cut down the calories and it turned out perfect. Healthiest and best zucchini bread ever. Next time I might try with only 1 cup sugar as it was quite sweet.

Tasty & healthy, my kids love it, what more could you want? To make it even tastier & healthier, I substitute unsweetened applesauce for half of the oil, and when I make muffins out of the batter I substitute fresh blueberries for the raisins & walnuts. Delish!

This recipe is very close to my grandmother's. It's nice and dark, not like those pale loaves that other recipes have produced. I use all whole wheat white flour (it has a milder flavor than the regular whole wheat flour) and you'd never know it wasn't white flour! My kids LOVE it! Thanks for the recipe!
