Makeover Pineapple Zucchini Bread
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.

made this recipe today....really good...I baked 4 small loaves and one 8 X 4 loaf....the small loaves went into the freezer....we will take the larger on vacation...I did use 2 eggs in place of the 1 egg and 2 egg whites and no nuts...
Very moist and flavorful. It is hard to eat just one piece!!

This was just okay. With so many zucchini bread recipes available, I think I can do better :-)
Everyone just loves this bread. I made more of it yesterday, so I had some to freeze for this winter! It's a wonderful receipe!! :)
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!!!
