    I made it exactly like the recipe and we are delighted with the results. This is my new go-to recipe for zucchini bread. I was skeptical of all the sugar, but with 3 cups of flour, it makes 2 good-sized loaves of bread. Not too sweet, and plums are a nice addition.  -  23 Aug 2014  (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)

    I added 1/2 a teaspoon of nutmeg to the flour and 1/8 to the crumble topping and substituted applesauce for the oil and this is OUTSTANDING! Trying a lot of different recipes due to an overachieving garden and this will be made again! Great recipe!  -  25 Sep 2014  (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)

    I have made many sweet breads, and this one was really one of the best. The only things I did different from the recipe were to use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil and added a tad more cinnamon and a little clove. The edges were crispy and sweet, the inside moist and almost pudding-like from the plums. So good!! My roommates and I devoured half a loaf before it even cooled.  -  13 Jun 2016  (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
