Thank you for all who baked this recipe and shared their results, looks like I will continue to bake zucchini bread from an old time favorite excellent recipe found in my "Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook" 1980 edition.

Heavy, cleggy, and unappetising. A waste of honey, flour, and eggs.

I wish I had read the reviews before spending my time and ingredients on this lousy recipe. Despite the lovely combination of spices, it ended up tasting like flour.

I didn’t like the spice mix on this although the friends and family I served it to loved it.

Betsy

Wow that was a waste of time and ingredients! I also wish I would have read comments here first. Two very flat tasteless dry loaves and I took them out after 25 min. So disappointed and frustrating. I will 100% read comments before making anything else.

Dan

Bland, flat, and stodgy. Skip this for a better, traditional recipe. If you are committed, use 1 tsp salt.
