I made this over the weekend for some friends: we all loved it! It was so yummy! We especially loved the flavour of the spices. The bread is quite moist, so I'd deffo suggest using a very fresh courgette/zucchini (as over-ripe ones get quite watery). We sliced the bread and put it under the broiler/oven grill just to toast it up a bit -- and served with butter!

Please... Who are these people who keep pointing out that this is a dessert, and NOT a vegetable dish? Really?... I wouldn't have guessed. Just enjoy this delicious recipe and stop raining on everyone's parade! You probably also feel the need to point out that an orange Popsicle does not equal a serving of fruit.

The most amazing zucchini bread recipe ever. all other ones are bland in comparison. BTW, add walnuts - it's naked without them.

Also, I made this with many variations, so I think it's foolproof! I'm visiting Turkey, and they don't have brown sugar here, so I just used half a cup of white. I had no vanilla on hand, so I added some lemon zest. I cut down on the oil a bit, and because I didn't have a loaf pan, I baked mine in a small casserole dish for about 25 minutes, and it was perfect! Also, I've noticed people commenting that they used Bisquix for a fluffier loaf. Instead of that, I just upped my baking powder to 1tspn

Please people, please! It's been noted before, but I'll repeat: this is a TREAT! Just because there is a vegetable in the contents, does not mean you can pat yourselves on the back for eating your greens! Check out the carbs, fat and sugar, and remember, this is a sweet indulgence, not your daily serving of fresh veg!

Love this recipe! My family loved it so much that another loaf was quickly made while we were devouring the first! I used all whole wheat flour, all coconut oil, and half the sugar ratio ~ turned out wonderfully moist and full of spiced flavor. Especially good with cream cheese spread on top of slices!

Wow! So delicious and moist and the spices are perfect. I used coconut oil instead of veg oil and substituted 1/2 cup of whole wheat cake and pastry flour for 1/2 of the a.p. I have also added about 1/2 a cup of walnuts which was great.

I also used applesauce instead of oil, added 1/2 cup walnuts, and raisins. It was a winner today at my house.

Delicious and oh so moist! The spice flavors are "deep" reminded me of my grandmas when I was little. Will definitely make again and again.:)

Delicious! But keep an eye on the zucchini--as pp noted, one "large" zucchini can easily yield 3+ cups. So grate 1.75 cups as indicated in the recipe so bread isn't overly moist.

Perfect way to use overgrown zucchini. One LARGE zucchini made 2 loaves. A vegetable dish that the whole family loves!

Under directions....#1. 1 large zucchini yields approx. 1 3/4 cups.

I made several of these breads in the mini size to give as holiday gifts....it is a wonderful bread and the spices add great flavor. I also used canola oil instead of the veggie oil. I still have one more in the freezer to enjoy with my coffee some morning soon.

This is a great way to use up extra summer squash, especially the big ones that friends bring you! I used a little extra zucchini and replaced the oil with applesauce and it was delicious! Whole family loved it and is asking for it for the holidays already. Nice, easy recipe!

Please be more accurate in measurements with your recipes. 1 large zucchini does not give any specific amount and is subjective to the persons's eye.

Patti asked about an oil substitute: applesauce works great! Your breads and muffins will be very moist, and might take a few minutes longer to cook, but I actually think they taste better and have a nicer texture than using the oil. A friend has always used Splenda in place of the sugar, and she says it works fine.

Betsy,
That's why we put a crouton on our sundae. It makes it a salad..... LOL

Can you use frozen shredded zuchinni? I have so much of it in my freezer.

Delicious! I used four smallish zucchinis and added 1/2 cup raisins.

Tasty- yes. But, please, people...don't kid yourself. Eating 1/12th of a large zucchini is not really sneaking any significant amount of veggies into anyone's diet. And the sugar and fat, offset any minor benefit of that little bite of zucchini. I'm not saying this bread is a bad thing- but don't fool yourself- it's essentially a dessert when it includes a cup of sugar.

Yummie- i add 1/2 c of walnuts (chopped), I have been making this for a year and my son who is now 5 cant get enough of this bread.

Does anyone have the nutritional info on this recipe? It's generally located in the back of the magazine. My son has Diabetes and we need the carb counts for his meals. This is a great snack (veggies) for kids. Since I liked the recope, I tore it from the mag (to save space). Much thanks!

I've made this several times and add mini chocolate chips. It's a great recipe.

Made it, loved it! I think it would be delish with some cream cheese frosting too...mmmmmm.

I've made this twice now, first time I used way too much zucchini and it was too moist. This time I kept the zucchini content at approximately 2 cups, and it came out perfect!

Try substituting apple sauce for the oil. Keeps the moisture you need without the fat and calories!

I'm munching on a piece of this delicious loaf as I type, still warm, with just a touch of butter (well, lactose free margarine!)......first time making this one, delighted with the smooth texture

I tried it again, this time I added 1 medium sized grated carrot. I think it made it sweeter and added some color too.
A truly easy bread to make. I wish there was a substitute for using so much oil though! This seems unhealthy.

This is a great recipe - easy to make and very popular in my house! To giddygirl30... the recipe calls for 1 3/4 cups shredded zucchini. Enjoy :)

what is a Large zucchini? I have big and then I have bigger! is there an estimated amount??

I make this recipe all the time! It is perfect and great to make now with all the fresh zucchinis in the garden

This bread turns out moist, springy and delicious. Instead of cloves I used allspice. I added 1/2 cup of milk chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of raisins (didn't adjust the sugars), and it was very good!

I have been making this bread every summer since it made an apperance in the Everyday Foods Mag. I love it! i cut the sugar by a third and add dark chocolate chips to the recipe. TDF!

Very easy to follow. I added chocolate chips and chopped pecans/nuts for added flavour. And a dash of All-Spice.
Thank goodness I did as I found it to be pretty plain overall for my tough tasters at home! I also added some chocolate chips and nuts to the top before cooking for a nicer appearance.
Great way to sneak in zucchini into your diet. A great bread.

The best recipe for Zucchini Bread I have ever tried. The recipe was super easy to follow, and comes out delicious every time I've made it, which is about 20 times since November. I made small breads and gave them away as holiday gifts to friends and family, and only received praise from the recipients. I added chopped pecans and the recipe was still delicious. The bread is a great way to get vegetables into my young nieces and nephews!
