Very delicious and moist. I made six mini loaves and six muffins instead of two large loaves. I also reduced the brown sugar to 1/2 cup, only used 2 eggs, used white whole wheat flour, 1/2 c. applesauce and 1/2 c. of canola oil. I also used canned pears which I drained well which I am sure that added to the moistness. I will make this again.

Fantastic Loaf. I reduced both of the sugars by half along with the oil. Then added 1/2 cup of Applesauce. Super yummy! and a little healthier.

My twelve year old son made this and while we left out the nuts and doubled the zucchini by accident, it was soooooo gooooood! We didn't do a loaf, but instead made muffins. We are making a double batch right now! (well my son is ;) )

What a GREAT bread!! This was so moist and flavorful!! I did use a combination of 1/2 wheat and 1/2 white flour. I bought some rye flour and will try that next. I used applesauce in place of the veg oil, and flax seed meal in place of 2 eggs. I was able to reduce the sugar also by 1/4c for both white and brown sugar since the applesauce is sweet. Also added an extra cup of zucchini to use it up. Great! Was gone within a day. I will make again!
