Notes

* You’ll need about 1 1/2 medium zucchinis (about 3/4 lb) to yield 2 cups shredded zucchini.This zucchini bread is delicious as is or toasted and spread with reduced-fat cream cheese (could affect PointsPlus values). For a different twist, swap the raisins for dried cranberries and the walnuts for pecans.

This bread freezes well. Wrap tightly in aluminum foil and then place in a sealable freezer bag.
