This bread is good. It cooked nicely in 1 hour and had a crisp crust and a cakey texture inside. The only thing is I’m not sure that I’m sold on the lemon and cinnamon flavor combo.

Allrecipes should have an option to check a box if the review has modifications. it seems that MOST of these reviews have altered the recipe so how can this be and accurate review of this recipe. i would love to filter out reviews that didn’t follow the recipe exactly as written. I haven’t made it but i have to give it a rating in order to vent.

Zucchini bread came out Fantastic, was enjoyed by everyone. Will be making this again real soon
Alexander Miller
This is a keeper! Great taste & texture! I even made it a bit healthier by using 2 egg whites & 1 whole egg and using applesauce for a portion of the oil. The lemon taste is great.
Joanna Lambert
The only change I made was use Canola Oil instead of vegetable oil and I loved it. Shared with friend and she too will be making it. I loved the lemon flavor from the extract. Great addition to the regular recipes. Made it twice already!!!
Benjamin Chandler
I loved how easy and delicious this was! I don’t really like zucchini but I have a new love of veggies now. I used more zucchini than called for in the recipe and it turned out so tasty and really moist.
Patrick Wilkins
I followed the recipe exactly. But my husband and I were disappointed. The bread came out beautiful. The lemon extract made the zucchini bread taste like a lemon bread. We could not get the taste of the normal cinnamon zucchini breads. I will make this again and use vanilla extract. No lemon.
Samantha Schneider
I followed this recipe exactly just omitted the pecans because I can not eat them and it came out awesome, already ate two pieces. It is perfect and not too dense I will definitely make again.
Kristina Davis
Excellent recipe! Didn’t change a thing!
Shannon Baldwin
great recipe i add allspice and a 1/4 cup of applesauce to it yummy.
Matthew White
I love this recipe. I sub vanilla extract for the lemon, walnuts for the pecans and I also add 2 full cups of grated zucchini. Everyone loves this bread, including picky kids. 😉
Christopher Cox
It was good. I followed the recipe and I thought it was dry. I don’t know what I would do different to make it not dry.

I just took this bread out of the oven.Looks yummy, rose better then I expected. Can’t wait to taste it. I’ll post when I have. Didn’t tweak a thing, except I omitted the nuts.
Mark Martin
This bread is really good! It has a rich flavor, and is moist. Instead of using pecans I used walnuts, and made four smaller loaves instead of one large loaf. I will definitely make this recipe again, as we have a lot of fresh zucchini.
Diana Bell
It was a little dry, which is hard to do when working with Zucchini in baking.
Jade Morgan
This is very…more-ish……because after one slice all you want is more more more!! 🙂 so soft, reminds me of carrot cake. If you tried it and it didn’t taste good, it’s because you made it wrong!
Erin Mcintyre
Delicious. I used half whole-meal flour and half regular flour. I added chocolate chips too. Smelled so good hot from the oven, but was great the next day as well. Even all the zucchini-hating kids devoured it.
James Sloan
This came out perfectly. Very moist. I omitted nuts only because I didn’t have any on hand. I added lemon zest and Chinese Five Spice along with the cinnamon. I added in craisins as well. Delicious! Mine cooked for about 1.5 hrs.
Jordan Buchanan
Too all the people trying to sub applesauce for oil, and skipping the nuts……of course it is dry and heavy, you just elimated ALL sources of oil/fat. Eating super healthy usually does not = eating super yummy. I didn’t have lemon extract so I put in 2 tbl spoons of lemon juice. Also I added an 1/8 tsp of cloves and 1/8 tsp of nutmeg, and used walnuts instead of pecans (function of cost). Cloves go a long way and although it is still pretty darn good, next time it will be just a pinch.
Matthew Long
I thought this was really dry and didn’t taste like other Zucchini breads I’ve had. I’ll try it again though with a little tweaking.
Donald Davis
This is an excellent bread and would recommend it to anyone who loves zucchini bread. I saved it to my recipe box and have shared it with my mom. Great recipe.
