  1. This was very good! I cut the recipe in half to make only one loaf and used two eggs, rather than one and a half! I also changed the sugar. I used 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup white,so I cut the amount down by 1/4. For the nuts I used Macadamia. Thanks for sharing, loof!
     
  2. We loved this dense, moist quick bread! It wasn't overly sweet like so many other quick breads, and it contains some healthy ingredients like zucchini, carrots, bananas and whole wheat flour. I made it even healthier by replacing half of the oil with applesauce. I doubled the cinnamon and used toasted walnuts. I served this with honey butter, and two of us almost polished off one loaf in one sitting...yum! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!<br/>**Made for Australian/ New Zealand Recipe Swap #73**
     
  3. Fantastic bread - I love the combination of all of the different good for you stuff, plus whole wheat flour, too. Very versitisle, too, as I only grated up 1/2 cup zucchini and when I realized it, I had already put the grater away, so I substituted an extra 1/2 cup banana, which worked perfect. I also took another reviewer's suggestion and subbed out half the oil with applesauce. I took this to a meeting this morning and it got wonderful reviews! Served it with recipe #41253. Thanks, loof, for the excellent recipe! Made for Zaar Stars.
     
  4. Don't know where my head was but I though I had already reviewed this wonderful recipe...well here goes! My favorite thing about this bread was that it was not as heavy as I though it was going to be. Things I make with whole wheat seem that way to me. I made two loaves, cutting my oil in half and replacing it with applesauce. The only thing different was to replace the pumpkin spice with Chinese Five Spice Blend. I interchange them in many recipes. Will be making this again!
     
  5. Loved Loved this!! I used dehydrated zucchini, homemade canned carrots and over half peach butter for the oil. Will def make this great bread again - the kids loved it so much at breakfast that DD wanted a piece in her lunch!

  1. Absolutely delicious! So glad that this recipe made two loaves as it will make a great breakfast bread with our coffee and there is enough to share with my wonderful neighbor. I like that the bread is not overly sweet and it is nice and moist. Made as directed; although, I might try substituting applesauce for some of the oil next time. This delicious bread recipe is going into my Best of 2013 cookbook. Made for PRMR, January, 2013.

  4. Great bread! I loved that there was whole wheat flour in it. I used canola oil instead of vegetable and no nuts due to family dislikes. This would be great as muffins, too! I might try subbing 1/2 applesauce with the oil next time. Thanks, loof!
