    Very Good

    Moist and delicious. I used half the sugar and 12 packets of artificial sweetener. I made it in a 9x13 pan as a birthday cake for a diabetic. Used 1 large yellow squash from our garden instead of zucchini, used coconut oil instead of olive oil. - 8/20/11

    I am diabetic, so will sub stevia for half of the sugar. Could you sub almond extract for the coconut if you wished? - 12/11/20

    How much coconut extract is to be used? It seems 2 1/2 cups sugar is a lot. I will try the recipe as it sounds so good. - 11/24/20

    Incredible!
    Moist! I added 1/2 c shredded coconut, 1/2 c cocoa powder, cut sugar down to 1 c and omitted the cinnamon. It generously made 30 muffins and baked in 20 minutes exactly. It was interesting and easy to use a blender to start and stir in the rest. I will made this again. - 11/16/15
