Nutmeg and cinnamon add spice to these flavorful loaves from Alice Manzo of South Easton, Massachusetts. The flecks of green zucchini and red cranberries give each slice a festive look that's just right for the holidays.

This truly must be the best zucchini bread I have ever had. You honestly can't even tell there is zucchini in it. The cinnamon and nutmeg really take it over the top. I made it exactly the first time. Then the second time (in the same week) I made it with 3/4 cup applesauce and 1/4 cup oil and did half white whole wheat flour and half all purpose flour. I used cranberries that I had in my freezer that I had bought fresh at Christmas time and then froze. Everybody loved this and asked for more.

Excellent bread. The cranberries add a nice tang to the bread. This is a great recipe if you're looking for something different than then usual zucchini breads. I did substitute half the oil with unsweetened apple sauce to cut down on the fat content.
