diabetic zucchini bread

[meanna]

I am looking for a recipe that turns zucchini bread into something a diabetic can eat. Is there a recipe for that?

You might find some tips on changing a recipe to suit diabetics in our Diabetic Recipe section.

One of our members has posted some hints to baking with Splenda here. The tips she mentions might come in handy.

This is one I got off the internet somewhere, but I have made it and by using splenda or a store brand of the same thing it tastes just like my old recipe using sugar

I've made this pumpkin bread using Splenda. I'm sure that you could leave out some of the spices (providing that you like the pumpkin) and add some shredded zucchini to it. Bet that would be good!
