Great zucchini bread!! I made this as written, but I made 12 muffins and a mini loaf. DD was here for a few days and took several of the muffins home with her. I also made a homemade whipped cream cheese , that I added some cinnamon and a touch of sugar, that I spread on the muffins for breakfast, yummy!! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for "FYC"" tag game.

This recipe was delicious - super moist and healthy. I used coconut oil and added raisins. Next time I think I'd add even more cinnamon and possibly some nutmeg and cloves for even more flavor.

This is the best zucchini bread recipe I have ever used. It will be my only one going forward! I used coconut oil for the vegetable oil, reduced sugar to 3/4 cup total and added some raisins. I also added extra cinnamon, to suit our taste. I really love that this recipe has 3 cups of zucchini - most recipes have so little.

The oats are clearly major factors in the excellent flavour and texture of this bread. As usual, I reduced the sugar since we prefer less-sweet cakes, and I think next time I might reduce it even further. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
