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.
