Carrot Zucchini Bread

Submitted by mikey ev

"You can also make this an all-carrot bread by substituting the grated zucchini for an additional 1.5 cups grated carrot. To cut down on some fat, try substituting equal part unsweetened applesauce for the oil (for a little extra flavor and texture, add 2 tbsp of oil along with the applesauce). Try adding some chocolate chips, nuts, or cinnamon to taste."

I thought it wAs ok. Not slit of flavor but moist. Not sweet, which can be a good thing. Feels like it's missing vanilla or something??

I'm scrambling to make another dessert for a dinner party starting in 1 1/2 hours! I had to toss it, that's how awful it tasted. Don't waste your time and money.
