Home cook Kim's Cooking Now says, "If you have a sweet tooth (like I do), I think you will love this! It is very rich and decadent, and a little goes a long way. The caramel sauce is delicious, and I'm looking forward to drizzling some of that over ice cream or even in my coffee! I made this exactly as directed, but my loaf was done at about 54 minutes, so keep an eye on the time, knowing your own oven. Toothpick in the center should come out clean when done."

No eggs, butter, or dairy milk in these vegan muffins — however, the recipe does call for brown sugar and white sugar, neither of which is vegan because they're processed with bone char. To make these truly vegan, look for a vegan sugar substitute or sugar labeled as "vegan."

Grated zucchini and dried cranberries make this zucchini banana bread extra moist and colorful. For best results, grate medium-size zucchini — they have more moisture than giant zucchini — and don't bother wringing out the moisture before folding into the batter; you want that moisture in your banana bread.
