Oh My !!!! This was such a wonderful loaf. So moist and flavorful. The blend of zucchini and bananas goes so wonderful together. I thought I would try this recipe instead of my own just for a change and I am so glad I did. I followed the recipe almost exactly, I didn't quite have the right amount of zucchini so I had added in some Craisins to equal the amount of what was missing along with a little extra because I don't really like coconut. I did find I had to cook it an extra 12 minutes though but that is nothing major...But thanks so much for sharing your recipe A,S,& E's Mom. I just loved it because it wasn't overly sweet and went so nice in the morning with my cup of tea. Yummy stuff !!!
