This is very good, and looks just like the picture. But it is different from the common dense, sweet zucchini bread I was expecting. This is crumbly and less sweet. Because there are no spices, the zucchini flavor comes through more clearly. This makes it easier not to overeat, as well! :) - 3/15/14
