Zucchini Bread

I really did like this. The honey seemed a little too prominent so I emailed Gaylenamdndiscussed what else I could use…she suggested sucan so when I make this again I'm going to try that and more spice.

@Tmcleaod, have you tried with sucan nad add more spice.. what more than one teaspoon of cinnammon??

I agree with 3/4 cup of honey is a lot.. could I reduce it to 1/2 cup; what will it do to the bread? Reply

Just make it a little less sweet.

Could I substitute almond flour for the wheat flour? Would it be an equal substitution? If not, what could I use instead of the wheat flour? Love all your recipes btw. Making the spinach and artichoke penne today!

Christine, Try these replacements for the flour and soda. Let me know how it turns out. gale@skinnyms.com

1½ cups almond flour

1½ teaspoons baking soda

I hope you enjoyed the Penne! Reply

Are the nuts included in the NI? And can agave be substituted for the honey? Need something sweet for an afternoon snack; just re-joined WW

Gail, Great…congrats on re-joining WW! Yes, nuts are included in the NI and agave can be substituted.

What can I substitute for the yogurt to make this dairy free?

Jennifer, Possibly applesauce. I haven’t tried it yet, but should work fine. Keep us posted.

You could try 1.5 Tb lemon juice or vinegar to 1/2 cup soy milk to make a buttersoymilk Follow these instructions: http://www.goodbaker.com/qa10.html

What could be swapped out for the yogurt? Trying to go dairy and egg free.

Ginny, Low-fat sour cream would work.

Applesauce, banana puree, or pumpkin/ squash puree.

Loved the recipe. Making it for the second time. And making a double batch for the freezer. Trying one batch as muffins! Thanks for the great recipe

I just made the recipe and doubled it for muffins. It made two dozen….baked for 15 minutes. i also added raisins that I presoaked and some coconut. They're fabulous; I will make them again soon!

What happened to the other version of this recipe?

Thank you!

I can't find the measurement for zucchini–am I missing that somewhere? Perhaps I'm not downloading the entire recipe?

1 Cup grated zucchini. Just added it, somehow it got deleted.

Can I use almond milk instead of regular milk?

Laurie, Sure, almond milk will work as well.

Is the zucchini supposed to be drained?

I don’t usually drain it but feel free to do so.

This moist zucchini bread is perfect with morning coffee or as dinner dessert. Although there is no refined sugar in this recipe, it’s a special treat to be eaten in moderation, just as you would all desserts. The great thing about healthy breads and all desserts with clean, whole ingredients is the ability to indulge without feeling guilty about your health. The treats are still meant for occasional enjoyment, but you can eat them knowing you are not putting dangerous chemicals into your body.

Another great thing about healthy bread recipes such as this one is the inclusion of vegetables. Whenever you add fruit or veggies to a dish, you automatically boost its health factor. This zucchini bread is a great option for getting your family, especially the kids, to eat an extra serving of vegetables during the day. They won’t even know they are eating something health because the bread has a sweet, rich taste that is perfect for dessert or a special occasion breakfast.
