This recipe doesn't say to spray or flour the pans. All of my loaves stuck to the pan and I was unable to gift them. Do any of you spray and flour your pans first?

Dcmac, We just got the first 4 zucchini from our garden,we fried one and then I just had to try this recipe as zucchini bread is my favorite in this whole world,It was so very good and moist it just melts in your mouth, and the spices were just right.My husband complemented me on how good it was,so I know it was VERY good. Thanks,Darlene Summers -
This is very similar to the recipe that I have been using for many years. The main difference between this recipe and the one I use is that my recipe calls for 3 cups of flour, not 2; it has 2 tsp. vanilla, rather than 3 tsp; and 1 tsp. cinnamon rather than the 3 tsp. that this recipe calls for. I often sub. about half the oil for unsweetened applesauce, and add 1/4 tsp. nutmeg. I also usually use whole wheat pastry flour in place of about half or even all of the white flour - just to make it a little more healthy. So, basically, I only added this review to mention that more flour could be added without any consequences,and it really tastes yummy with nutmeg. Of course, adding more flour will also add more batter, so you might make two small loaves instead of one large loaf. For one larage loaf, it takes a little over an hour to bake at 350 degrees. -
Very good and very easy to make, almost as good as "grandma's"! I would change the baking temp to 350 instead of 300. -
This was absolutely delicious!!! The first loaf was almost gone in 20 minutes and we are a family of three. I suggest doubling the recipe. Saves time. We also freeze zucchini for future loaves and for zucchini cookies. A previous reviewer mentioned to flour the pan, I agree. The bread is so moist it needs a little extra help to pop out of the pan.

This was my first time ever making zucchini bread and I must say this recipe is awesome!! The bread was very moist and smelled wonderful while baking. My 10-year old did not want any because it was zucchini - but after one small taste, he was hooked! My only tweak is I suggest you grease and flour your pans. Thank you for this recipe. It is a definite keeper!!

This was a great zucchini bread. I used applesauce in place of the vegetable oil as I was out of oil and didn't realize it untill I started making this. I also used chocolate chips in place of the nuts-added about 3/4 cup of those and added one heaping tablespoon of Mayonnaise-a co-worker told me years ago to do this with all baked goods as it makes any recipe more moist and it seems to work. The addtion of the chocolate chips was awesome-thanks so much for sharing this-I will definetly make this many more times. Baking one hour was right on for my oven.

I made 1 loaf of this recipe yesterday, and it's already gone by this morning. I made a couple subs- I used Sucanat instead of sugar, whole wheat pastry flour instead of white and replaced some (~1/2-1/3) of the oil with applesauce, beause I just happened to have more applesauce on-hand than oil, truthfully! WONDERFUL flavor with lovely little green flecks of zucchini and tremendously moist. I think all the cinnamon makes this really special. Mmmm. Loved it!

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
