I too got 2 large loaves out of this recipe, but my loaf pans are pretty large. It took longer to cook then stated, but that was because I only baked the 2 loaves. I used a smaller package of pudding (because I mis-read the directions before I went to the store) and I used pistachios instead of walnuts. I have a ton and I thought "Hey, it's got pistachio in the title so I'll use my pistachios!" They are a little softer then other nuts, but we liked the flavor a lot. I also used whole wheat pastry flour instead of white and it turned out really well. Thanks so much for such a great recipe!

I made this for a pot luck using fresh zucchini from my garden. I should have taken both loaves to the party. It was gone in about 5 minutes. I was only able to get 2 large loaves out of this receipe, not the 3 that it states. This will definitely be our new zucchini bread recipe in the house. Thanks for posting.
