My Grammy used to make the best zucchini bread.  I ask my Aunt Martha for the recipe.

Guess what?  The original recipe calls for two cups of sugar AND 3/4 cup vegetable oil.  No wonder it was so good!

How do you lighten up zucchini bread?

Two things lightened up this zucchini bread recipe.  First, I reduced the oil to 1/4 cup and secondly, I added nonfat Greek yogurt and unsweetened almond milk.  Still delicious! Side note though, these are not overly sweet, so add additional artificial sweetener or more real sugar according to taste.
