  1. This was an awesome recipe! I did double the nuts and chose pecans; they were delicious in the bread. For the glaze I put a small amount on top and left the rest in a tub so people could dab as much as they liked on their piece (I don't like as much, but my daughter likes a LOT!) I'm suprised this bread stayed around long enough to cool completely. It's that good! It has a mild orange flavor and you don't really notice the zucchini as a vegetable- it just adds to the moistness. Excellent recipe! Thanks, Lennie!
     
  2. I love this bread! The orange gives it a nice twist from the usual zucchini bread. The texture was very nice, and the blend of spices just right. I checked for doneness at one hour, and it was ready. Thanks for a great recipe, Lennie!
     
  3. Excellent bread.... Excellent recipe... Thanks
     
  4. I just had a slice, slightly cooled and man oh man this is delicious. I am going to make and drizzle the glaze on later for the sugar-addicts in my family. Suggestion: mix the dry ingredients, including the grated orange rind, in a separate bowl; then combine them quickly with the "wet" bowl to get a lighter bread.
     
  5. This is a pleasant twist to Zucchini Bread. The texture is great and the taste is delightful. The only thing I would do different is to add a little more orange rind to give it a fuller orange flavor. I didn't add the cloves as that is not a favorite spice for us.

  1. Makes great mini muffins.
     
  2. I tripled this recipe. Now I have six fabulous loaves of bread! Thanks to you Lennie! I like that this recipe has more eggs for protein and less sugar. Oh - I subbed about 1/3 of the whole wheat flour for white flour. Added some nutmeg too. Totally awesome.
