Healthified Zucchini Bread

Very good. I would reduce the sugar more the next time I make this recipe. My grandson enjoyed this bread even though it had a bit of green showing. That's saying something good in itself. Every bit as good as the unhealthy version.

"healthified' zucchini bread

Just tried this recipe with our abundance of zucchini from our garden. The recipe is very good after being healified, however I do still find it to be very sweet, may consider cutting back on sugar or using a smaller amount of splenda for baking and add a dusting of powdered sugar for those who really enjoy the extra sweetness. Enjoy
