The taste is similar to pumpkin pie and there is no zucchini taste. My son who doesn't like zucchini will eat this bread! A tasty way to get him to eat healthy. A family member who has Type II diabetes enjoys a slice of bread for dessert because it satisfies his sweet tooth without ingesting too much sugar.
Try baking in a cake pan and dust with a light coat of confectioner's sugar. It makes an awesome brunch dessert. For a truly decadent version ice with cream cheese frosting.
