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.

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.
