Can this be made with less sugar for those who don’t like their bread too sweet? Would one use a little less oil? I’m surprised the recipe uses so little baking powder or does the beaten egg white carry part of the load?. What are the flour options, white, part, or all whole grains?

I use a Zucchini Bread recipe from the wife of a former co-worker. The last line of her recipe reads, ‘Give Doug half a loaf to eat!’

Char is gone now, but I think of her every time I make that recipe. :)
