This lightened-up bread features a crunchy crust and delectable taste. Our pros achieved the moist center Nancy Skramsted of Billings, Montana was looking for. And it definitely tastes delicious, even though more than half the fat and over a third of the calories went missing from the original.

AMAZING!! I put 1.5 cups of whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup ground flax seed and 1 cup all purpose flour instead of 3 cups all purpose flour! super delicious...especially right out of the oven!!

I was looking for a healthy version of my Mom's old recipe and this one is it! I added about 6 tablespoons of ground flax to the recipe to increase the nutritional value. It was delicious!! Really impressed with this recipe. Thanks!

Just baked this (no alterations for Denver high altitude cooking). Tented it the last 20 minutes of cooking time to prevent over-browning. It is DELICIOUS! It's moist and yummy like a quick bread should be. Will freeze a loaf (so I'm not tempted to eat the whole thing)! I will definitely make this again!! Kudos!!

I was looking for a healthier zucchini bread recipe and this one hits the spot. It is moist without being oily and has a delicious flavor. I am now sorry that I gave the second loaf to friends!

I was nervous while mixing the batter because it seemed kind of thick so I thought I did something wrong. Also, I have never made zucchini bread before so I was unsure if I was supposed to peel the zucchine first. I did not peel them, just shredded skin on. Turned out fabulous. I didn't have 2 loaf pans, so I made one loaf and then I made the remaining batter into muffins. Wonderful!!!

Delicious and moist. I'll admit I smear a little butter on each slice, but it is fabulous.

This bread is moist and flavorful without all of the calories included in other zucchini bread recipes. Although I still prefer my more calorie-laden recipe for taste and texture, this is a good one to have when I'm being more health-conscious.

I used splenda and only one and a half cups instead of two . it still tasted good.

I made this recipe using just one cup of sugar instead of one and a half. It was still very tasty and sweet. The pineapple adds the extra sweetness.

This is fantastic!! My kids love it which is a miracle and the lower fat means we can use it more often. I let them have it as dessert!!
