I loved it! Easy and so good . just used regular flour and used vanilla yogurt instead of oil and it turned out so good! Defiantly writing this one down!

great way to use zucchini from the garden. Its fluffy and delicious and freezes great. Easy snack throughout the year to pull out of the freezer, would def recommend!!

I have made this recipe several times since finding it on ToH a month ago. It is delicious! Even my husband devours it and several friends have asked for the recipe - especially after learning that it is a healthier version. Loaves also freeze nicely for last minute gifts.

There was NO WAY 1 cup of flour was gonna make it. Way too much liquid between applesauce, oil and juice of zucchini, soooo I upped it to 1 3/4 Cups of All Purpose Flour. Came out fine!!!

This is really good. I am definitely making more. I had no cake flour either but had no problems.

made this recipe and everyone loved it. If you follow the recipe exactly you will love it too. I used cake flour and it was moist and fluffy and wonderful. I don't understand how people change the recipe they are making and then complain that it did not come out right or taste good.

I used Splenda & Egg Sub. I had no cake flour so I used regular and reduced by 2 TB. Even though substitute sites don't say to add extra BP I did anyway based on reviews. It came out dry and had a funny taste. Did not rise at all. Probably won't try it again.

I made this to celebrate a birthday breakfast for one of the girls at our YMCA. It was so good they didn't believe me when I told them it was a healthy recipe. It was an excellent treat that didn't negate our workout!
