Low-fat Zucchini Bread

SJG3483's Note:

You can barely taste the hidden zucchini in this recipe, which makes it a perfect way to get kids to eat their vegetables. It is moist, sweet, and flavorful- not to mention easy to make! Use it for breakfast, dessert, accessory to a meal, or a snack.

The zucchini bread tasted delicious! It was very moist and had just the right amount of spice. I changed it a bit by using 2 cups of zucchini and 1 cup of carrots (trying to get my 21 month old to eat more veggies). I would have given it 5 stars, but it is VERY sweet. Maybe next time I'll decrease the sugar a bit.

This was good and I may make again but with some modifications which is why I'm rating as good not great. It was very moist but 1) there was too much sugar - next time i'd try ~1.5 cups 2) there was way too much vanilla - I wonder if the Tbl was a mistake and should be tsp? 3) this definitely makes only 2 small loaves, if you make 3 they would be really flat.
