My grandmother made this bread for as long as I can remember, and I've been making it ever since I learned how to bake. Children love it for a snack, and it's good to serve at any meal. It's another delicious way to use zucchini, which is so abundant in late summer.

I made this last week and it was a hit. I only inluded 1 cup of sugar and added 2oz of baking chocolate and everyone loved. Very moist. I just made a second batch right now and sub'd 1cup of quick oats, i cup brown sugar, 1cup apple sauce instead of oil. Overall it is good and moist, but not as sweet as the loaves I made last week. This will be my go to recipe for breakfast breads.

This is the best! I made both muffins and a loaf pan and sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on top before I cooked them. Also super moist, not a bit dry.

I was amazed at how well the taste is and will make more. Did anyone have to go over the 50 minutes?

This is the best recipe and I think it is better than zucchini-pineapple bread.

What a great recipe! I didn't have any nuts, so I skipped them. I also don't have two loaf pans. I made half of the recipe in a loaf pan and then made 4 pans of mini muffins. These are 12 count muffin tins and each took only 10 minutes to bake. If you have the patience, the mini muffins are the way to go because they are the perfect size. My family ate them up! Thanks for a great recipe! Next time I think I will add some mini chocolate morsels.

My friends and family loved this bread! It was very easy to make and very tasty! I added an extra banana and nobody believed me there was even zucchini in it. Great way to hide and get rid of it! One batch I even added a handful of fresh blueberries....AMAZING! Very moist bread. Making more bread today!

This recipe is not only delicious bt also a wonderful way to use up bananas and garden zucchini!!! I had zucchini in the freezer to use up and also some vananas that I had bought for company which never was eaten so both were used!!! Very wonderful!!! Just remember if you are using frozen zucchini to defrost and drain well so that you are not using the extra water/moisture.

This is really a great recipe. the bread had a light texture and the banana keeps it moist. My husband really enjoyed this. I will bake it again

This was really good. I halved the recipe and make four smaller loaves. I added a little extra banana and substituted 1/3 of the flour with whole wheat flour and it was great. Definetely, one I'd make again!

This bread is great! We ate one loaf immediately, and I froze the other. A couple months later I thawed and brought second loaf to church, and it was a hit! Many recipe requests... wish I could take the credit!

I love this recipe! When I was making this recipe, my kids said " EEWWW I hate zuchinni!" Once the bread was done however, the tune was changed almost immediately - LOL! Perfect sneaky dessert :)
