Not sure what the other reviewer did wrong, but for me this recipe turned out beautifully. It made four mini-loaves that rose perfectly and were super moist as advertised! I am a recent convert to raisins in zucchini bread, so I added both walnuts and raisins to this bread. They are a nice for a change. Baked these for about 35-40 minutes in the mini-loaf pans. My only change was to cut back the sugar to 1 1/4 cups as we like things less sweet. I can attest that this recipe does not deserve a 1 star review and hope others will give it a try. Thanks,gypsysister! [Made for Bargain Basement Tag]

I made 4 loaves this evening. It is moist, and very tasty. I made a couple substitutions. Cut the sugar in half and used 1/2 c oil and 1/2 c of applesauce. It took 46 minutes to bake in a metal loaf pan and 55 minutes in the ceramic loaf dishes. I will absolutely be using this again. I have so much zucchini. ??

Hi all! Just a bit about me I suppose... I live in Chicago,IL, the city of big shoulders, one of the finest cities in the world! I spend my days at the Shedd aquarium with the belugas, dolphins, penguins, and otters there (mostly getting wet and dirty!) And I'm also workin' on my masters in marine biology.
I love to cook, and have found Zaar to be a wonderful resource full of great food and great folks... two of the most important things in life :)
Being born in Israel and of Tunisian decent, food is naturally quite important to me.. so this is fun!
