This is a great and delicious recipe! I made it last week in a bundt pan - the only changes I made were the suggested salt reduction and I added raisins. My husband and I went through the entire loaf in 2 days! I made it again today and this time made half the flour whole wheat, added a small amount of ginger, allspice, mace, and a splash of vanilla extract. Thanks for sharing!

This made a delicious moist bread that smelt wonderful while baking and that most of all, the guys in my dad's office enjoyed this evening at a small surprise treat I gave everyone because I completed my last examination of my Masters in IT today!I used 1/4 tsp. baking powder, 1/4 tsp. salt, 3 tsps. cinnamon(ground) and 2 1/2 cups sugar instead of 1 1/2 cups since I wanted it sweeter. I omitted the nutmeg since I didnt have that on hand but I did add a pinch of allspice. Thanks for a delicious and healthy bread that used fresh fresh carrots and zucchini and a great evening treat that went very quickly with tea! The other loaf was shared between some kids and their families in my building - everyone enjoyed it! Thanks again!

Butter instead of the oil, creamed with the sugar and eggs until Super light and fluffy. Added the flour mixture until just combined and then the zucchini, carrots and walnuts all at once. It was beautiful! For those whose bread comes out dry- make sure you’re not squeezing out or draining the carrots and zucchini, the bread needs that liquid. Also, the veggies you’re using might be older and not as juicy. Try using smaller zucchini and carrots (they’re more tender and juicy).

I made this today with my toddler and it was delicious! The batter is very thick but it comes out soft and moist from all the veggies in it! Next time I will try reducing the sugar just a bit and maybe substitute some apple sauce for 1/2 of the oil.

Sorry but up I had high hopes and was left with 2 dry crumbly loaves. I should have tweaked it or abandoned it after I read the reviews but thought maybe the recipe wasn’t followed correctly. I followed each step even reducing the baking time in my convection oven. Would not make again.
