Zucchini Bread
"This is my mom's zucchini bread, which I have made low-fat. Sadly, it's not low-calorie. Loaves disappear almost as soon as they are cool enough to eat in our house, which is saying a lot when you have a picky 2-year-old and 50-year-old."

Great lower fat recipe for this bread!!! I have always made the full fat version and wasn't sure if I would like the less fat recipe and I can say that I really did, really didn't notice the difference!! I only made 1/2 of the recipe and did cut back on the sugar to about 1/2 of the amount, just to try it out. The only thing I did different was to add chopped pecans to the recipe (besides the sugar), my favorite. I had it for breakfast, with which I added some cream cheese for the spread and protein. Thanks so much for sharing. Made for Pick A Chef Event Fall 2011!!
