Zucchini Bread

Tried this last night and it is soooo good. Even my dad, who claimed he ate enough zucchini in his hippie days, tried it and loved it! It's from bettycrocker.com, which I love because they include the nutritional info for all their recipes. Enjoy! :flowerforyou:

Thank you for posting this recipe! If a person does NOT have whole wheat flour do you use 3 cups of all purpose flour then? Have lots of zucchini and have been making bread with my fave recipe but it is not very low cal. ,it is toooo good and we can't seem to eat it fast enough! Thanks again!

I make a lot of zucchini bread and I love this recipe because it uses whole wheat flour and apple sauce. Thanks for sharing

Yes, I didn't have whole wheat either so I used 3 cups all purpose and it turned out great! I think the whole wheat would add a nice texture though, but it's hard to find around here :laugh:

The whole wheat flour is what increases the fiber and makes it more healthy. :flowerforyou:

Looks close to a banana bread recipe I use from Runner's World, it calls for regular white flour, but I use w/w flour YUMMY!

Thank you for sharing

I am going to try it. I love zucchini bread and I have so much from my garden right now. When I make it, I add a tsp of ground cloves, gives it a really great flavor!

Hey guys, I made this again today, but I'm at my place at school now and only had 1 loaf pan....so I divided the rest of the mixture into muffin cups! They didn't take as long to bake, about 30 min, and I left one cup empty so there are 11 servings, just like the bread. Just another way of doing it! :drinker:
