WHOLE WHEAT ZUCCHINI BREAD



Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread image

I took an old favorite and juiced it up by cutting the white sugar completely, replacing with honey and brown sugar to reduce the total sweetener by half. I also cut the oil back to 25 percent and introduced one-third whole wheat flour. The results are in; it's even better than the original! I like to use the huge zucchini that didn't get picked on time, as long as it's still green and healthy. This is a large batch recipe, but you can easily cut it in half.
