Loved this recipe! Substituted sugar with brown sugar. Made one regular size load and four mini loaves, to which I added raisins, chocolate, and coconut too. My favorite was the raisin variation, yummy!

My bread smelled amazing! Althought it did not cook evenly, the top cooked well, but the base was a little doughy. I cooked it for an hour and 10 minutes. Do you have to freeze the zucchini before shredding?

The flavor was very tasty but mine turned out very dry. I followed everything in the recipe except cut out 1/2 cup of the sugar. Will not make again.
