Great recipe! I used buttercup squash from my garden in place of the zucchini and it was delicious! I also tried this bread with sour cream in place of the yogurt and added pure vanilla extract (I did not have vanilla yogurt on hand) and it was just as good. I omitted the cloves, I don't care for their overpowering taste. Great versatile recipe!

I followed the recipe fairly closely, except that I used a Korean squash from my MIL's garden, and swapped 1 c. of whole wheat flour, with excellent results. Very moist with great gingerbread flavor - everyone loved it. I had never cooked Korean squash before and wasn't sure it would turn out, but you couldn't tell the difference. I'll be making this one again!

This was great! I used a tablespoon of vanilla and sour cream for the vanilla yogurt. Made me feel like it was the holidays.

Great recipe! My kitchen was rather bare, though, so I substituted a couple things: subbed sour cream for the yogurt and butter for the oil. The bread turned our great.

This a fantastic recipe! I only had a cup and a half of zucchini. I used a cup of fresh plums to make up for the rest. I also increased the ginger to 3 tsp. The bread came out moist and tangy (from the plums). OH MY GOD SOOOOOO GOOD! thank you so much Sarah- May!

I wish I'd copied the recipe after the temp change was made; but good I was keeping an eye on the pan (I made one bundt cake out of the batch) while it was baking. At 425 it came out pretty dark and crispy; but the inside is still light and fluffy. I, too, had a ton of zucchini to use up (yes - people DO actually leave ginormous zucchini in your car if you leave it unlocked). I then made a double batch (in the oven now) and forgot to double the eggs! We'll see what happens. If it works, I'll get back to you.

I made this for the first time, doubling the recipe as I had so much zucchini to transform into something delicious. And this was the trick! This is not the typical zucchini bread that I often find dense, sweet and oily. It is a wonderfully light and spicy gingerbread. At an elevation of 7600' I sometimes have to adjust recipes, but this worked fine just as written. The only difference is that I used 8 1/5" X 4 1/5" pans, and even doubling the recipe I only got 3 full-sized loaves and 1 half-sized loaf. I like this so much that I will be freezing some grated zucchini to make it later in the fall and into the winter. This is definitely a keeper recipe for me.

I was excited about this recipe too. I love gingerbread. I replaced the oil with pumpkin. I added 3/4 c. currants (because I needed to use them) and when I got to my zucchini (thawed and drained) there wasn't quite 2 1/2 cups so I filled in with grated carrot. I'll make this often! Thanks Sarah-May!
