After a couple adjustments this is by far one of my favorite recipes!
The secret is to sub out the vegetable oil for coconut oil (it’s a solid so it has to be in liquid form-30 seconds in the microwave does the trick!) i sub out the grabulated sugar for turbinado sugar and also add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. I also use walnuts instead of pecans. Try it-it’s delightfully delicious and I haven’t found a soul who doesn’t sneak an extra sliver…

This recipe is fabulous! I have created a slightly healthier version by:
*reducing the oil to 1/2C and adding 1/2C of non-fat, greek yogurt
*using two eggs instead of 3
*use 3/4C of granulated sugar OR 8 packs of splenda
*adding 1C of all purpose flour and 1C of whole wheat flour
I also add 1/2C of slivered almonds which add a whole new flavor to the mix!
All in all, a wonderful cake, with or without the changes!

The recipe didn’t specify how much cinnamon to use so I used a teaspoon. Plus I reduced the vanilla to one teaspoon.

I made this yesterday. It was perfect to use up the old bananas on my counter top, as well as my over abundance of zucchini. I used newshadeofgreen’s healthier variations (substituting applesauce for some of the oil) and it was delicious. I put in 1 tsp of vanilla and cinnamon. The bundt pan was a nice idea. I get so tired of zucchini bread in a loaf shape, because the middle never seems to be done all of the way. This was delicious!

This was a huge hit at my church for all age levels! It was moist and had a wonderfully sweet banana flavor- perfect.

I tried this recipe this morning and it turned out great! I made a few modifications to make it healthier…

– 1 cup vegetable oil = 3/4 cup apple sauce, 1/4 cup veg oil
– 1 1/2 cups sugar = 1 cup sucanat, 1/2 cup sugar
– 2 cups all-purpose flour = 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

It is very moist and tasty! I also guessed on the vanilla and cinnamon by adding 1/2 tsp each.

Thanks bakeaholic!
