Eggless Zucchini Bread - Cinna Roll Ears - Your Recipe Rocks

Since Madhuram posted this recipe i made this 4 or 5 times ,
every time with a few variation.First time I did not change anything
from the original recipe.But my son does not like the banana flavor.
So the next time I substituted eggs for bananas and carrots for
Zucchini.The bread is so moist and delicious.Madhuram Your Recipe Rocks !!!
CinnaRoll Ears
I wanted to make Cinna Rolls ever since Ashaji posted this.
Last week I tried the rolls.Though I pressed the middle with wooden
spoon I did not get the shape. The outer look of the rolls is no where near
Ashaji , but it tasted good . My daughter likes all new food unlike my son. So whenever
I make something I eagerly wait for my son's response.So when he asked for
more rolls I am very happy .And Your Recipe Rocks Ashaji.
