The addition of zucchini puree and applesauce make this bread really moist. There's a great combination of textures and flavors in this recipe. It would be a perfect breakfast or snack to have on hand for house guests during the holidays. I loved the M&M's on top.

This zucchini bread was a disappointment. It was too sweet and the texture was not very good. I would not recommend this recipe.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out great. I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. I've also experimented with different add-ins, like dried cranberries and chopped walnuts. They all work wonderfully.
