  • “This bread came out wonderfully moist.It’s very good–I would highly recommend it. My family really took to this bread.It took my oven about 1 hr and 5 minutes to bake.I also added 1/2 c. chocolate chips to one batch.Very delicious!”

  • “Yummy, we love this zucchini Bread , Very moist, easy to make, also the best Zucchini brear that I have ever made. I will be making this a lot with all of the zuchini that I have in the garden. Thank you for such a good Recipe.”

  • “Just had to search through 23 pages to find this recipe again….. the BEST!!!!!”

  • “Excellent recipe. I had already grated my zucchini, so I just mixed the wet ingredients, added the zucchini (all in my kitchenaid) the added the dry ingredients to the wet. I added choc chips and baked it in a 9×13 for about 50 minutes. Very good and moist.”

  • “This recipe is identical to my grandmothers except for 2 minor changes: she only used 1 1/2 c. sugar and she used 1 c. of nuts. It is fabulous.”

  • “Very yummy! I did use glass breadpans and had to bake it almost 15minutes longer!I omitted nuts and added 1/4 c of coconut to half the batter and 1/4 c of mini choc chips to the other half.Delish! Even the pickiest one in the house was happy and I got some zucchini in her!”

  • “This is awesome!I added some butterscotch chips to it and we couldn’t get enough.It is definitely a winner at our house.I am going to bake some to freeze as well.I had made a different recipe and given it to my husband’s friend.We told him this recipe was better and he couldn’t understand b/c he loved the other one.Then, we gave him a loaf of this and he understood!There is no comparison.”

  • “Mary – This is a winner!You should be proud!Admittedly, I added a dash of nutmeg, extra cinnamon (as always) and increased the walnuts to 1 cup.Also, almost always, I replaced half of the flour with oats, and half of the sugar with honey.As, I noticed, in another recipe, I added 1 cup of grated carrots to increase the fiber.”

  • “This bread turned out beautifully.It rose nicely in the loaf pans and it was very moist.I usually have trouble with zucchini bread getting done in the center, but this recipe was right on.Nice in the center and not burnt on the outside.This is my “keeper” recipe for zucchini bread.Thanks Bev!”

  • “This is SUCH a wonderful recipe! I make this into muffins and mini muffins for freezing and having later. So tasty, prefect level of spices and wonderfully moist.”

  • “this is the same, or very similar to my posting – this freezes well AND it great slathered with salted butter AND is wonderful toasted too!”

  • “I thought this bread turned out reasonably well, but it seemed a bit dense for my taste.I baked it using splenda which may account for the issues I had with the texture.But it was definitely easy to put together and a great way to use up some zucchini, so for that I give the recipe 4 stars.”

  • “I didn’t have enough vanilla extract so I added a teaspoon of almond extract as well. The taste was good.The reason whyI didn’t give this recipe 5 stars was because the texture wasn’t that great.I think next time I’m not going to be purifying the zucchini in the blender… I kind of like to see the little bits of green in the bread… like carrot cake… and you couldn’t tell there was zucchini in it by the look of it.So yeah, next time, not going to liquify the zucchini… perhaps half and half.”

  • ” Well, as usual there is an over abundant supply of zucchini in our garden.I made this twice. Once with sugar as the recipe states and again with Splenda for my diabetic guy. We really couldn’t tell the difference, so next time I’ll just use the Splenda. And there will definitely be a next time! It was moist, flavorful, a beautifulloaf! Thanks Bev, we loved it!”

  • “This bread turned out really delicious, I followed the recipe exactly except I halved it and only made 1 loaf, just in case I didn’t like it.I had never tried zucchini bread before, and I have to say you can’t really tell there is zucchini in it, it is very cinnimony and spicy, which I love and the bread is a perfect texture.When I pureed my zucchini and wet ingredients it became totally liquified, I hope that was right. Anyway this is a great bread and easier than a mix to throw together.I will make this again for sure. “

  • “This is a wonderful bread!A nice easy recipe with terrific results!Thanks for sharing.”

  • “This recipe is a snap to make and so delicious!What a nice change from the usual banana bread.I’m on my way to make it again and, this time, will put in chocolate chips instead of nuts (to please my kids).Thanks for this recipe!”

  • “This bread makes some really great muffins. Just the right amount of spices to tickle your taste buds yet moist and lightly sweetened. A treasure of a recipe. Thank you for sharing!”

  • “Yum, yum!Simple and delicious.Makes a very moist loaf that still holds together nicely.I left out the nuts because some here don’t like them – still a great texture.Thanks!”
