Excellent recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was a little skeptical after reading some of the reviews that this was dry. The only thing I changed was not squeezing out... the grated zucchini. I doubled the recipe (since iIhave zucchini coming out of my ears) and it was moist and delicious. A keeper!Read more

Zucchini Bread will remind you of childhood
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Growing up, our family business was a bakery. This recipe is a wonderful example of the large-scale zucchini breads we would... make in the summers, when zucchini was growing abundantly. This warm, simple, flavorful quick-bread takes me back to my childhood. Thank you for sharing such a simple & delicious recipe! Read more

Good with Changes
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The bread turned out great with the changes I made. I added a teaspoon of vanilla, a half of cup of applesauce, and I used... brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. For an extra kick, I placed 3/4 cup of shreaded carrots. I made them as muffins so the can go into the freezer. Turned out great!!!!Read more

dry but I doctored it up!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

A good basic recipe, but I found it dry. So I added a 4 oz. container of cinnamon applesauce, also 1 1/2 cups of zucchini,... and 1/2 cup of raisins. Excellent and moist, as bread or muffins!Read more
