1. Excellent! I was looking for a healthier version of my beloved zucchini bread and this was great. I only had 1 lg zucchini so I halved the recipe and made 1 loaf. For that I used a little over 2/3 c. sugar, ener-g egg replacer, 1.5 c. whole wheat pastry flour, 1/2 c. applesauce (no oil), 2 tsp cinnamon, 1.5 TB vanilla and a few shakes of nutmeg. It baked for 50min and didn't rise a lot but is delicious given all the modifications!

2. The zucchini bread tasted delicious! It was very moist and had just the right amount of spice. I changed it a bit by using 2 cups of zucchini and 1 cup of carrots (trying to get my 21 month old to eat more veggies). I would have given it 5 stars, but it is VERY sweet. Maybe next time I'll decrease the sugar a bit.

3. This was good and I may make again but with some modifications which is why I'm rating as good not great. It was very moist but 1) there was too much sugar - next time i'd try ~1.5 cups 2) there was way too much vanilla - I wonder if the Tbl was a mistake and should be tsp? 3) this definitely makes only 2 small loaves, if you make 3 they would be really flat.

1. Very moist and can't taste the zucchini at all, even though I can see the grated pieces. Made this as muffins instead (baked 25 min) and got 2 dozen. Reduced sugar to 1-1/2 cups and it's still quite sweet for my taste. Replaced oil with add'l 1/4 cup applesauce. Also used 2 c. whole wheat, 1/2 c. all-purpose, and 1/2 c. wheat germ, 1 tbsp vanilla instead. Oh, and threw in a pint of blueberries. Yummy!

2. I used whole wheat flour, 1c honey and 1/2c sucanat in place of the sugar, cinnamon flavored apple sauce and 3c zucchini. While it wasn't a super sweet bread, it was very good. My only complaint is that it didn't rise at all. Maybe next time I'll use more baking soda or even some yeast.

3. A co-worker made this recipe and brought it over to our department to try. The college boys devoured it that morning! That's when she told us how it was low fat, filled with applesauce and zucchini! I couldn't believe how decadent it was! She cut the sugar down to 2 cups and used 2T vanilla and 1T walnut or almond extract instead of 3T vanilla. Now I have to make this!

4. Absolutely delicious! A friend had given me a YELLOW summer squash and I grated that to make the bread. It worked fabulously! I decreased the sugar to 2 cups and it was plenty sweet. I also substituted half of the flour with whole wheat flour with great results. I too used only one tablespoon of vanilla, as other reviewers did and the flavor was great. Next time I may add some chopped walnuts or pecans. A++++
