I've made this recipe several times and haven't reviewed it because I've been working out my issues with this recipe. The flavor of the bread is amazing. It's moist and really beautiful to look at. My problem has been in the shape and the browning of the loaf. In past attempts, I get a too large crown or overflowing loaf pan that took forever to cook and got too dark on the outside. Tonight, I finally figured it out and this recipe does warrant a 5-star review. Rather than making the bread in a single loaf pan as suggested, I separated the batter into TWO 10 x 5 inch loaf pans and baked for 60 minutes at 350 degrees. The loaves came out beautifully golden brown and flat on the top...no volcanic eruption tops or over the sides issues. With this change, it's my absolute favorite quick bread!

Um... good! I added 1 tsp. cinamon and it was perfect! The bread was very moist and tasty, my family loved it.

This was great! I really appreciated the addition of the pineapple. When this bread really impressed me, though, was after it had been in the freezer. I made three loaves, froze two, and now that I'm eating a defrosted loaf I think I like it even better!

i have had an overabundance of zucchini, the really big kind that get overlooked in the garden until their HUGE, so i picked a couple recipes here to try for zucchini bread. this one was very good, the only thing i added was 2 teaspoons of cinnamon for a little extra flavor. the pineapple, raisins and nuts give the bread a nice texture.

Great flavor and really easy to make (not counting grating the zucchini). The only change I made was to substitute 1/2 cup of applesauce for 1/2 the oil. Still nice and moist but with a LOT fewer calories. Thanks for a winner Grace.

This is excellent! A very nice change from the usual zucchini bread. It tastes more mellow and has a strong vanilla flavor. I used Wondra to dust my pans with (less clumping). I left out the raisins and nuts because it was going to a function and I still got two large 9 x 5 pans worth. I left it to cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pans. Make sure you loosen the loaves really well before trying to remove as I broke the first loaf. (Hey,it eats the same!) I will make another batch this afternoon. Next time I make it just for us, I think I'm going to use coconut in place of the raisins and add the nuts. Grace, thank you for sharing your recipe!

I have to admit, I changed this recipe a lot to make it healthier. Instead of 3 eggs, I used 1 egg and 2 egg whites, and I cut out 1/2 cup of the sugar. I also skipped the pecans. However, these changes didn't change the fact that this is an amazingly tasty bread! I made mine as muffins, and they're very light, sweet and moist. I will absolutely make these again.

just made this, it is still in the oven. It smells great and I am sure it will taste great. The only thing I will change the next time I make this is the size of the pan. My large loaf pan is too small and dough is dripping out of it as I am typing this. I will use two pans next time!

FABULOUS!!! This is the best zucchini bread I have ever made or tasted!! Super moist, great flavor and bakes up beautiful! I used 2 loaf pans and put the remaining batter in a pie tin. We only have a little left and it will be gone tomorrow morning with breakfast! Gave a piece to my neighbor and she now wants the recipe too! Thanks so much!!

Just made this last nite and found that my 9" x 5" pan was far too small... had to transfer to a 9 1/2 x 5 1/2 .. even then I had enough batter to make 5 'Tops Only' muffins. I, too, think next time I would add some additional flavoring ie: fresh lemon or orange zest.. or cinnamon .. or fresh nutmeg. It is lovely and moist, and will certainly make it again. Thanks Grace
