These are a VERY sweet dessert! People at the potluck I took them to all thought they tasted like a glazed donut and had no idea they contained zucchini. I omitted the nuts in case of allergies and used 1/2 tsp of cinnamon in the glaze. Like the other reviewers, I did not put oleo in the glaze. I made them on a 10x15 cookie sheet and they were done baking after 30 minutes in my oven. If I make them again, I will probably cut down on the sugar a bit.

Really good! Omitted the nuts, and spread batter in a 15x10 jelly roll pan which was the perfect size. These were gobbled up in no time by a bunch of picky kids who won't eat zucchini or coconut! Great recipe! Thanks for sharing!

These are simple to make. They didn't rise very well. Taste good!

I'm so glad I found this recipe. These are just wonderful. I was scared at first to pour all that batter in the cookie sheet but it did work. I also skipped the oleo in the topping. The whole family enjoys them. I will be making these again. Thanks for sharing

This is wonderfully moist and flavorful. Made exactly as stated except I skipped the "oleo" in the glaze and went with just the powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla and milk. Used walnuts for the nuts as that's our favorite. I was a little worried about pouring this into a flat cookie sheet as it filled it completely. I was pleasantly surprised that it rose in the oven perfectly. Nice golden brown. Great texture and flavor, loved the coconut in it. This was simple to put together and I will definitely make it again. Thanks for sharing this recipe. ;) (Made for Dec Bevy Tag 08) ~V
