Very good and has a lovely blend of flavors - prefer this to other similar type breads. <br/>For us I did cut oil back to 3/4 cup and sugar by 1/2 cup. This is to accommodate our tastes but other people liked it that way too. The cranberries and hazelnuts are what makes this bread a step above others. So the only reason for a 4 rating is the amount of sugar and oil.

Absolutely wonderful in WA, too! Nutty, distinctive, moist. My #1 favorite zucchini bread recipe! Leftovers are great thick-sliced and toasted. The basics of this recipe are the same as #9350 Zucchini Pineapple Bread, but the cranberries, hazelnuts, and nutmeg give it an entirely different taste.
