It was perfect just as shown. A 9×5 pan is the one to use for proper baking. Not sweet and I even tossed in a few Choc chips. May top with something fun next time for guests. My husband and I don’t need the sugar though.
It was delicious, made better because my 90 year old mom made it.
Simply delicious. Mouthwatering. And perfect as is.
I made it! I replaced the raisins with fresh figs that i already had. I replaced the oil with unsweetened applesauce. This is my ‘Go To’ recipe for zucchini bread. Thank You!
I have never made a zucchini bread before & wanted to give it a try, even my 5 yr old son who hates every vegetable there is ate this all up! I’ll def make it again! Thx for sharing!
This was so good! I did tweak it a bit, but I always like to add a bit extra 😉 I doubled the recipe and replaced a cup of the zucchini with some grated carrots because my zucchini wasn’t big enough, and it added a lovely color to the bread when I cut it. I used golden raisins instead of regular because I like the flavor and look of them better, as well. I also replaced half of the white sugar with brown to give it a richer flavor and color. Finally, I added some more spices like nutmeg and clove and extra cinnamon. Fabulous recipe!
I put some mashed strawberries in also. This gave it a different flavor and moistened it more since the strawberries were very ripe.
So easy and yummy. Added brown sugar instead of white and lots of raisins. Also a little more cinnamon. Hubby loves it.
The texture of this bread turned out delicious, and not too dense. I replaced half the oil with applesauce, and reduced sugar to 3/4 a cup. I also added one cup of chocolate chips in addition to the walnuts, and did not add raisins.
I’ve never made zucchini bread before. I made this recipe because it had great reviews. Not sure what happened, but it was very dry! I followed the recipe exactly (except I substituted 1/2 c. Oil and used 1/2 c. Applesauce instead.
I made this recipe exactly as directed except I doubled the cinnamon to be sure there is lots of flavor. I couldn’t eat just one serving as it was so tasty right from the oven! I highly recommend!
This is my first time making this, I just added extra cinnamon, walnuts and raisins,delicious
It was delicious other than mine was a little dry. I will reduce cooking time next time. Other than that it was awesome !!
Real good recipe. Took the zucchini bread to my reunion. I will making it again.
This was my first attempt at zucchini bread. Good, easy recipe. For some reason the top didn’t get done all the way in the middle of the loaf so I’d have to adjust the baking time but nothing the toaster oven can’t fix on individual piece. Any suggestions on making this a little moister?
Excellent recipe! I only left out the raisins. First time making Zucchini Bread, and it turned out fabulous!
Needs skittle more cinnamon and vanilla next time, but otherwise very tasty.
awesome but i love walnuts so i think i will try more nuts next time
I have tried many zucchini bread recipes over the years, and this one was by far the best! I left out the raisins, because my family doesn’t care for them. I’m sure it would have been just as delicious with them. Aside from this omission, I followed the recipe exactly. The bread came out perfect and flavorful! Not too oily, not too dry! This is my new “go to” zucchini bread recipe. Thank you for sharing this!
Fantastic,did replace the cinnamon with pumpkin spice. Definitely a keeper.
I made the recipe exactly to except I left out the raisons me and my family don’t like them. But it was soooo good! And it made a ton. I defiantly will be making again!
