100% Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread

Submitted by stephiefae

"This is a zucchini bread made only with whole wheat flour, I'm sure you could make it 1/2 with whole wheat flour and 1/2 with all purpose. It is really easy and delicious! It turns out quite sweet with 1 1/2 cups of sugar so if you're trying to cut back on sugar I think only 1 cup would be enough --> this recipe makes 2 loaves"

Fantastic recipe! I was looking for something whole wheat and this is what I tried first. I don't think I'll be trying any more because this is it! It isn't gooy like many zucchini breads are. This is less of a desert and more of a bread. Love it! -- update, this is great as a loaf of bread or as muffins. Be sure to use about 2 cups of zucchini with excessive water drained.

I normally don't review recipes, but this one was too good not to! I'm a big fan of using whole wheat flour. This bread not only tastes delicious, it is moist and raises well! When zucchini is in season (hence coming out of our ears!), I like to grate it and freeze it in 2 cup portions ready for this recipe! The best (and healthiest!) zucchini bread recipe I've found by far! THANK YOU!

It was fabulous! I tweaked the recipe just a bit, I did half coconut oil and half regular oil, I also added 2 spoons of flax seed powder. It was amazing!! I'm definitely keeping this recipe for ever!! I love it, love it!!

This was a very easy and very good recipe! The bread is moist and so tasty. I like that it makes 2 full loaves so I have plenty to share. Will definitely be making this again as I have an abundance of zucchini this year ??

I have to say, after all the years I have eaten my mother's Zucchini bread, this is the best. It is so flavorful, with all that cinnamon and sugar and yet it still has the benefits from whole wheat flour. Just like the other review said, the bread is not "gooey" at all. It is so wonderfully delicious. It rose just fine, even though I baked it in a square glass pan instead of a bread pan, it was great! Kudos to whoever came up with this recipe, and thank you. Oh yeah, I used Walnuts from my tree out side, so that could make a difference, but I don't think so. Again, THANK YOU!
