Very good, very tasty. I didn't have a loaf pan, so baked in a glass 9x11 pan. It tested done at 40 minutes. I must say, you could as easily make this without the zucchini, since it couldn't be tasted at all!

This is the best zucchini bread. I have been making it for a couple years now. It is such a flexible recipe. I have changed the pudding flavor (chocolate is great), added nuts, omitted nuts, made big loaves, small loaves, cakes, or muffins. It also freezes very well.
