    I changed this recipe to be lower in calories because I love zucchini bread and can't stay away from it. I used NuNaturals White Stevia Powder (1/2 c) in place of the sugars, and 2 c of Whole Wheat Flour instead of the blend. I made this into muffins instead of loaves for portion control. 48.4 cals - 7/23/09

    Loved this recipe. Very sweet and moist. I replaced the 1 c of Splenda with 2 Tbsp of Stevia. Added 1 c of walnuts, 1/2 c raisins, 4 Tbsp of ground Organic Flaxseed, a little ground cloves and a pinch of ground ginger. Replaced salt with sea salt. Delicious! Going to try it gluten-free next. - 10/13/09

    Suggestion: I weighed both loaves in grams. I divided the total by 24 servings, then manually entered it into my favorites in grams. (Mine was 58, but I added walnuts.) So if I cut a slice that is 49 or maybe 63 gr. I can enter that and it will automatically recalculate calories & nutrients for me. - 7/14/10

    Oh...my...goodness!!! This is so good!!! I used a bit more zuke (not a good idea-took longer to cook), and all Splenda as well as all wheat flour. This is delicious! That nutmeg and cinnamon combo is to die for! Thank you so much! Will make this a LOT!!! - 8/22/08

    This bread turned out great! I don't use sugar replacements so I used about a 1/2c sugar and about a 1/2c brown sugar. I did decrease the cinnamon to 1.5tbl. Also used all whole wheat flour. Turned out delicious! - 9/2/12

    I made this exactly as above, but used mini muffin tin (for easier portion control) made over 48 mini muffins, my kids love them so much, I'll have to hide them so I'll have some for me - 8/7/11

    Tastes just like my "original" recipe but with way fewer calories and fat. I did change the recipe a little: used for flour 2 cups of the whole wheat instead of 1 whole and 1 all purpose, I used only 1/2 a cup of sugar and 1 cup of splenda, I added walnuts and did not use nutmag . - 7/19/09

    I read through some of the comments and made a few changes. I used only WW flour, two full eggs and only Splenda. The major change was I used cucumber instead of zucchini since that is what is in my garden--turned out great! - 7/29/12

    Liked this. I made it in a muffin pan and used 1 cup shredded carrots in place of 1 cup of the zucchini. Also used xylitol instead of splenda - 4/23/11

    While I like cinnamon and nutmeg, this recipe had a little too much for me personally. Next time, I'll try it with a little less and see how it comes out. - 12/26/10

    EXCELLENT TASTE! Since other reviews mentioned reducing sugar, I reduced the splenda to 1/2 c. Made 12 regular sized muffins (reduce time to approx 40 minutes, depending on elevation and oven) and 6 oversized muffins (approx 60 minutes - each muffin is 2 serv). I didn't want to stop at one serving! - 5/30/10

    I am not a huge fan of the diet sugar taste in this. It is too sweet of a flavor to me. If I made this again I think I would use 1/2 the diet sugar. - 4/23/10

    I am not much of a baker, but when a friend dropped off 2 HUGE zucchini, I felt it an appropriate time to try. I wanted low fat, low calorie. It was easy and delicious! Love it! - 7/10/09

    OMG this was so moist and so flavorful! I was glad it made two loafs because now I don't have to share mine with my parents. They can have their own.

    This is the best snack ever or would be good for breakfast.

    The 2TBSP of cinnamon was a bit much for me. 2tsp was easier on the taste buds. Overall I liked it. I also added 1c of dried cranberries. - 8/28/12

    This was good. I modified ingredients to what I had on hand though. I halved the recipe and used 1/3 cup sugar and 3 tbsp stevia, all whole wheat flour, two whole eggs, and 1/4 oil and no applesauce. Made 12 muffins at 115 cals each with these changes. Only had to bake them for 18 minutes! - 7/21/12

    I've tried to bake this bread today in a gluten-free version using a GF all-purpose flour mix (dr. Schar). I omit the sugars becouse it's too much for my taste. It took me about 1h30 min to bake it, and even after that time it was still almost raw in :( I guess this recipe is not good for GF:( - 9/16/11

    For a low-cal/low-fat recipe, it's pretty good. Has the characteristic rubbery texture of a fat-free recipe, but the taste is nice. Compared to an oil, sugar and egg laden version, it leaves a lot to be desired, but for what it is, it's worth making. Be sure to salt your zucchini, squeeze dry - 7/8/10

    WOW. I sort of want to eat all of this in one sitting now! LOL! Anyway, I followed the instructions except that I only had 1 cup of apple sauce available, so I used for my second cup 1 cup of homemade apple butter. This is a definite keeper! And I have PLENTY of zucchini for more bread! WooHoo! - 10/25/09

    Delicious! I was skeptical because I've never attempted using whole wheat flour or Splenda. The batter looked a little odd, so I was expecting the worst. The outcome, however, is a delicious, flavorful, moist bread packed with nutrients! Hooray! - 9/3/09

    This looks great EXCEPT for the Splenda. Do the research on it. NOT good for one's health. I see others have substituted the Splenda for other, better alternatives such as Stevia.
