First try on this recipe is now in oven. What size bread pan did you use? I have a 9-1/2 X 5 pan and mixture came to very top of pan. Had to put some in a smaller (6-1/2 X 4 X 2) pan. You also need to re=read your recipe. You list zucchini as an ingredient but do not mention it in the instructions, applesauce is spelled incorrectly and the sentence is not really complete. Check item 3 to see to what I am referring. To a new cook, this is an easy recipe to use but could be confusing with the errors. Otherwise, I think this is going to be a good bread. We have been given enough zucchini to last all winter(shredded and stored in freezer) so I am always looking for new recipes.

Extremely tasty! I was shy just a bit of applesauce so I filled the rest of the cup with oil. I also use a mix of white & brown flours and a mix of sugar & Splenda. I accidently left the topping off, but even without it, the bread was delicious!
